Start your experience on the Whitney Plantation Tour, where you’ll journey to the first U.S. museum dedicated to slavery. The self-guided audio tour leads you through preserved cabins, the historic Big House, and moving memorials that honor the enslaved men, women, and children who lived there.

After returning to New Orleans, continue your adventure in nature with the Jean Lafitte Swamp Tour, located just 25 minutes from downtown. Cruise through the bayous of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park aboard a flat-bottomed boat as a local Cajun guide shares stories of the region’s wildlife and folklore. Keep your eyes peeled for alligators, turtles, and egrets while learning how the wetlands have shaped Louisiana’s culture for generations.
