• Destrehan Plantation - Begin your day with a convenient hotel pickup in New Orleans for this engaging day tour, lasting just over 6 hours.

Start by exploring the Destrehan Plantation, established in 1787 and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Journey through history from the French and Spanish Colonial eras, through the Antebellum splendor of the sugar barons, to the devastation of the Civil War and the renewal of reconstruction. Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of Louisiana, when French was the dominant language and sugar, known as white gold, fueled the economy.

On the grounds, you’ll find an 1811 slave revolt museum/cabin surrounded by majestic oak trees. The compelling family stories of both free and enslaved individuals woven into the historical tapestry will captivate every visitor. The house tour lasts about 1 hour, with additional time to explore the grounds and visit the slave cabin. There is also an opportunity for lunch (at your own expense) if time allows.

• Barataria Preserve - Next, venture to the swamp, just 35 minutes from New Orleans, yet a world apart. An airboat adventure offers a thrilling combination of tour and ride. Experience the excitement of both a swamp tour and an airboat ride.

Travel at exhilarating speeds on the airboat, then slow down and pause for photographs. Throughout the journey, enjoy a personalized tour from your local captain.
