Small Airboat & Oak Alley Combo

Video Preview

This 8.5-hour combo pairs the thrill of a small airboat with the cinematic grandeur of Oak Alley Plantation, capturing the wild and the iconic sides of Louisiana in a single day.

Your morning begins on a nimble, high-powered airboat carrying only 6 to 9 passengers. Skim across shallow mudflats and twist through narrow cypress channels where larger boats can never reach, stopping beside basking alligators and nesting egrets while your captain shares stories of Cajun bayou life.

After a comfortable midday ride aboard our executive bus, you'll arrive at Oak Alley Plantation. Built in 1839 and originally named “Bon Séjour,” the Greek Revival mansion is framed by the legendary corridor of 28 giant live oaks, planted in the early 1700s. A knowledgeable escort walks you through the “Slavery at Oak Alley” exhibit, the Confederate Commanding Officer's Tent, the Sugar Cane Theater, and an 1890s-era blacksmith shop — a place that is both postcard and classroom.

Departure is at 8:00 AM with door-to-door hotel pickup included. Bring a light jacket for the airboat and comfortable walking shoes for the plantation.
