We started our first of two tours at Oak Alley Plantation. The main house tour provides a picture in time. Every space was explained in detail throughout the house.
Our second adventure was with Ragin Cajun swamp tours. We went on the small airboat. We stopped often to see alligators fed big marshmallows from the boat. Amazing bird life throughout. We did one faster run for excitement. Great fun.
Our Airboat tour site is the closest to the plantation making your travel time in the vehicles less. We operate on all private swamp where NO other boats are allowed and no idle zones or noise ordinance. Our small boat holds 6 - 9 passengers.

Oak Alley tour was very limited and not really very informative or entertaining. took the same tour 10-15 yrs ago and much longer, with many stories about life on the plantation - visiting guests, slaves, kitchens, bed rolling. this was bare bones and pretty bad. Oak Alley grounds are pretty. Mint Julep was good. food was acceptable and not too touristy expensive.
the airboat ride was fun. since warm out many alligators. less fun on the airboat than other trips we have taken - during the cold months where there were very few alligators, but they made more fun running the airboat about in curly ques. guess summer they fill with animals, winter with boat tricks.

We had a wonderful day at both the plantation house tour and swamp boat! Our driver Brian, was absolutely fantastic. Humorous and informative. The whole experience was exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic day out & about. The plantation was fascinating with some sad history of slavery. Learnt a lot. The airboat ride was great. A lot of fun and a lot of gators to see. Larry, handle -BamBam, kept us informed throughout the trip telling us a lot about the area. Recommended
