Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour with Optional Pickup + Laura Plantation

Uncover the story of Louisiana—its land, people, and untamed spirit—with the Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour with Optional Pickup + Laura Plantation package. This combination offers a deep dive into both the state’s natural wonders and its Creole heritage.

Your adventure begins on the water with a Small-Group Airboat Swamp Tour through the Barataria Basin, one of Louisiana’s most vibrant ecosystems. Aboard a 6–12 passenger airboat, you’ll speed across open marshes, then drift through narrow cypress channels as your local captain points out wildlife such as alligators, raccoons, and snowy egrets. Learn about Cajun traditions, swamp conservation, and the colorful history of Jean Lafitte’s smuggling routes as you glide past ancient moss-covered trees.

After the thrill of the swamp, step back in time at Laura Plantation: Louisiana’s Creole Heritage Site. Located along the Great River Road, this historic property offers one of the most authentic and acclaimed plantation tours in the South. Expert guides share intimate stories of four generations of the Duparc and Locoul families—both free and enslaved—while leading you through the vividly painted Big House, original slave cabins, and lush gardens.

Together, these two experiences paint a full portrait of Louisiana—one rooted in natural beauty and cultural complexity. You’ll feel the rush of the airboat and the weight of history in a single unforgettable day.
