The Whitney Plantation focuses on the lives of enslaved people and was an invaluable educational experience. The individual audio tour was well done and ensures you don’t miss anything.
We enjoyed a nice lunch prior to our swamp tour. My grilled shrimp Poboy was the best I had while in New Orleans. My sons crab cakes were also delicious!
Our swamp tour was very nice. However, we were on a pontoon boat when I very specifically signed up for an airboat. There were three options, pontoon boat, medium and high speed air boat. Not sure what happened there, but was a bit disappointing.
We did see a lot of gators on our trip, including the big one, Winky, but was hoping for a little more. Luck of the draw, I know. Overall, would highly recommend the tours. It was a great day and we all learned a lot.
