The plantation is about a 60-minute bus ride from the French Quarter.
Be outside and ready at the beginning of your pickup time. Pickup can take up to 30 minutes.

Deep in the bayous outside Luling, Louisiana, Swamp Adventures LLC puts you face to face with the untamed beauty of the Atchafalaya Basin region. Spanish moss drapes the cypress canopy overhead as your flat-bottomed boat glides through still, dark water. Keep your eyes on the surface and the shoreline, because Swamp Adventures LLC is home to alligators, herons, and turtles that appear with little warning and linger close enough to photograph.
Visitors consistently rave about the quality of the guides here, with names like Corey, Garrett, Josh, Jamie, and Jesse earning special shoutouts for being knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the swamps. The staff clearly loves what they do, and it shows in how they share stories, point out wildlife, and create an educational yet thrilling experience. Families especially appreciate the accommodating nature of the crew, including their patience with special needs guests. The wildlife viewing delivers in a big way. Expect to see plenty of alligators (some tours spot 20-30!), including adorable babies, and many visitors get the unforgettable chance to feed them marshmallows. Beyond gators, guests regularly encounter raccoons, diverse bird species, and stunning swamp scenery filled with beautiful plants and textures. The tours operate on private, protected land, which seems to make for reliable wildlife sightings. Just remember to bring sunscreen, water, and a hat since it gets hot out there. This consistently ranks as a highlight of people's New Orleans trips.
We took the 6 person Airboat Tour at Sunset. It was the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Cam was super fun and interesting. I never knew how fun an airboat could be! And even though we are from South Texas, it was so cool to see so many alligators in the wild. He even caught a couple of small ones with his bare hands to show us up close! We would highly recommend this tour!
