Discover two defining sides of Louisiana—the legacy of its people and the beauty of its wetlands—with the Whitney Plantation Tour from New Orleans + Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours package.
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. As you walk the grounds, their stories come to life through powerful narratives that make Whitney Plantation a deeply moving and essential visit.
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.
This combination captures the soul of Louisiana—its history, resilience, and untamed beauty—all in one unforgettable day.
Book the Whitney Plantation Tour from New Orleans + Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours package today for a journey that moves from the past to the wild heart of the bayou.
