This combination tour combines the best of the best! The best swamp tour with the best plantation along River Road. See a variety of wildlife on a swamp boat ride and explore an authentic southern plantation on this tour from New Orleans. See alligators, egrets, raccoons and snakes during your ride around a private Louisiana swamp after taking a tour of Oak Alley Plantation.
2 hr - Your 1.5 hour Oak Alley experience will include a docent guided tour of the plantation home, a self guided tour of the grounds and many photo opportunities along the way. Save room for a Mint Julep or refreshment from the snack bar.
1 hr 30 min - This privately owned wildlife refuge ensures that you won’t encounter any other boats during your peaceful journey into the swamp. Local Cajun captains share personal tales of their own swamp explorations and fascinating information on the plants and wildlife you'll encounter. The primitive beauty of moss draped cypress tress and abundant wildlife guarantees some amazing pictures! Enjoy a beverage and snack from the open air pavilion.
Although called a lake, this is actually a large lagoon and brackish estuary fed by fresh water rivers and connected to the Gulf of Mexico. Covering 630 square miles (1600 km2) it is one of the largest wetlands in North America.

Kate and Big D were great. The swamp tour was good. If I had it to do over I would probably have go when the weather was warmer but we did see plenty of gaters. I would not do the Oak Alley Plantation tour again. I didn't like that the tour gave you more of the slave owner experience and perspective. It was also to long of a stay for a 30 min walk through.
Great experience with lovely tour guide, Kate and driver, Connie. Very helpful and informative, and on a rainy day, made us comfortable and brought us there and back safely. The captain was hilarious. Beautiful and cool scenery, have to do when you visit new Orleans, and got to pet a baby gator!
Nice experience with Kate. Saw lots of alligators and the plantation was splendid. Very nice combo tour even in a winter day
Swamp tour was fabulous, Educational and exciting! The Captian was wonderful, funny. The plantation was full of emotions, beauty and pain.
We had wonderful tour with guide Jim and driver Ken! They make the entire trip exciting. Love it and will definitely come back with them!
