Plantation + Swamp Combos
Combined Plantation and Swamp Tours in New Orleans
Combination tours allow you to experience two iconic Louisiana highlights—a guided bayou swamp boat cruise and a Great River Road plantation visit—in one seamlessly coordinated 7.5 to 8-hour day trip with round-trip transportation included.
How much is a New Orleans swamp tour and do they include transportation?
New Orleans swamp tours cost $60 to $120 per person with round-trip transportation included ($60–$65 for covered tour boats; $90–$120 for airboats), or $35 to $95 per person if you drive to the dock yourself ($35 covered boat; $65–$95 airboat). Tour docks are located in the Barataria basin (35 to 45 minutes from downtown). Departures offer central coach departure from 400 Toulouse St or French Quarter / CBD hotel shuttle pickup.
