New Orleans Whitney Plantation & Swamp Kayak Tour

What you'll do:

A rich ecological and cultural experience of Louisiana! Our Plantation Combo Tour is a combination of our Manchac swamp kayak tour followed by a lunch stop and then a tour of Whitney Plantation. Whitney Plantation is one of the only historic sites focused solely on the slave experience and features historic buildings, museum exhibits, modern memorials and first person narratives which give a voice to the enslaved people who worked and lived on plantations in Louisiana.

Our Plantation/Kayak Combo Tour is perfect for tourists or groups looking to combine these two must-see destinations in one all-day activity (which you would not be able to do utilizing separate shuttle services). Additionally, our Combo tour is a more personal experience; you are typically with a smaller group, and our kayak guide is driving you to each stop from start to finish.

Why we love it for your party:

• Paddle & reflect (Start with an epic kayak ride through serene swamplands, then dive into powerful history at Whitney Plantation)

• All-in-one adventure (Nature, culture, and history packed into one unforgettable day—no need to plan multiple trips!)

• Wildlife & wisdom (Spot gators, birds, and bayous before immersing in stories from Louisiana’s past that truly matter)

• Lunch like a local (Stop at a classic Cajun/Creole spot to fuel up with local flavor - lunch stop built in, meal optional)

• Small group vibes (More personal, less touristy—your guide stays with you all day for a chill, curated experience)
