This was a great two part experience! The Whitney Plantation is frankly indescribable. Part of Americas history and extremely well done. It will leave you thinking about things for sure. We had a great time at the Fan boat alligator tour as well. We had the absolute best fan boat driver who was extremely engaging and actually made the effort for us to have a great experience. So fun!!

Our bus driver and boat captain were both excellent! We were lucky enough to see lots of gators and eagles.

The pick up experience was very poor. Be there at 8 and got collected at 8.30 and with no comms to say that the driver was running late. Appalling.

Great way to spend a day. The Whitney is a wonderful history lesson of slavery. The grounds are beautiful. Audio guides make the experience pleasant and easy to follow along. The Airboat tour is so much fun! We saw lots and f alligators and our captain made the ride through the swamp so much fun.
Highly Recommend this tour

This was such a fun day. Brian (our driver) was so personable and had fun stories. He also gave us a lot of history of the area which we both appreciated. The self guided Whitney Plantation tour was very informative and well done. I appreciated the fact that we could take as much time as we needed (within the allotted tour timeframe). The airboat swamp tour was fantastic!! Our guide made sure we got to see lots of wildlife and was very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna of the area.

The Whitney was an experience I won't forget. Somber, yes. But the facts are told and we should be listening. Teach your children. Take them here. It was well worth the time.
Great History Tour

I loved this tour. I would highly recommend touring the Whitney Plantation. There are multiple plantation tours; however, the Whitney Plantation Tour, gives you the true history of slavery. It was an emotional tour. Brian our tour guide was great. The swamp boat was also part of the tour and was truly fun. The alligators were scary and cute to look at. This was money well spent!!!
Ehhh....more information would be better

The tour operator needs to provide more clarity and transparency as to how the logistics of the day actually works. Pick up at our hotel was quite timely...appreciate that. From there we had to transfer to another shuttle bus that took us on the actual trip. It's one hour from the city to Whitney Plantation. We had plenty of time at the Plantation. Which is a must do....do not miss this experience. Really learned alot there....very important museum. From there we went to another Plantation to have a snack or lunch at the café on its premises. We had 20 minutes tk make sure we were on time for the airboat tour. Only to sit and wait 30 minutes for the airboat tour. I would have rather had ths time to maybe eat a better lunch at the restaurant at the Plantation! Raging Cajuns airboat tour was fantastic. So fun. But....it was a 2 pm tour that lasted 90 minutes. The listing said back by 4 pm which is why and how I planned the rest of my evening. We got back by 430 but that was only because we got off the shuttle bud early and walked back ourselves. All in all....the actual 3 hours of experiences we had a today were great. The logistics of the rest really put a negative side to the whole day.
