We do NOT feed the wildlife and the animals; alligators, turtles, birds are non threatening.
- B&C Seafood Riverside & Cajun Restaurant - After our kayak tour, we head to B & C Seafood where we stop for an opportunity to experience some Cajun food. (You have the option to purchase food.) Step out of your comfort zone and try some fried alligator, gulf oysters, crawfish, soft shell crab, frog legs or keep it simple and get the smoked rabbit gumbo. If you don’t want to push your palate, then I suggest the red beans and rice. A southern staple! After a fun lunch, we venture off to the Whitney Plantation.
- Whitney Plantation - The Whitney Plantation offers you an opportunity to experience the story of plantation life in Louisiana from the perspective of those enslaved. It does a good job of not glorifying the ownership.
The 45 min drive home gives you a quick chance to nap prior to hitting the town.
