From New Orleans: Whitney Plantation and Airboat Tour Combo

Embark on a profound journey through history at the Whitney Plantation, the only museum in Louisiana dedicated exclusively to the lives of enslaved people. Begin your day with a hotel pickup from New Orleans between 8:00 AM-8:30 AM.

After a 70-minute drive, arrive at the Whitney Plantation with ample time to discover the grounds and exhibits. Set out on a self-guided tour with an audio headset, allowing you to explore at your own pace.

Visit restored buildings including slave cabins, Freedmen’s Church, a detached kitchen, outbuildings, and a 1790 owner’s house. Pay your respects at the memorial honoring the enslaved and gain a deeper understanding of their lives and contributions.

Depart at 2 PM to transition from history to adventure with a fully narrated airboat tour. Enjoy close encounters with Louisiana’s vibrant swamp life. Learn about the unique ecosystem and the lifestyle of those who live in the swamps from a local captain.

After the airboat tour concludes at around 3:45 PM, return to your hotel by 4:45 PM, depending on traffic.
