You will eventually find yourself in the region of the famed Bourbon street. New Orleans airboat tours are something everyone should take. It is very exciting and promises lots of adventures. Those that have tried it have said that flying through the water on a small boat was exhilarating. They saw many alligators and the cypress trees were all draped in moss.
This city is well known all over the world for its annual festival of Mardi Gras. This is visited by well over a million people and is the largest city in Louisiana. It also has the second most important port in America with many tourist resorts.
The swamp tours are not as hectic as the airboat tour but just as enjoyable especially if there are children. It is a laid back look at the wonderful swamps and creatures that live in the area as well. There are scenic marsh lands that make the wetlands very popular. The cypress trees look stunning draped in moss and one is sure to spot many alligators in and on the banks of the river.
Not all tours need to be taken by airboat but by road as well. One will get to see the sugarcane fields and cypress swamps as well as some famous bridges that go over the Mississippi river. This can be done in one's own car or with a guide where he will be able to tell one about the history of the area.
These tours are also available every day and take about one and a half hours to complete leaving plenty of time to see all the other interesting things in the area. During peak season there are four different starting times and adults pay $25 while children between the ages of four and twelve only pay $12. If one is in a group pricings can be given as well.
The plantation tours are also filled with history that will leave the history buff enthralled. One will visit the Laura Plantation as well as the Oak Alley Plantation. The Oak Alley Plantation was built in the early 1700s and a French settler planted the live oak trees that lined the path to the house. All in all there are twenty eight of them.
The house was completed in 1805 and is located on high ground close to the river. It was built in a U shape with two back wings that surrounded a courtyard. It had a detached kitchen in the back as well. The fields were over 12.000 acres with a sugar mill about 1.6 kilometers behind the main house. A dirt road that was about 6km long had rows of houses where the workers used to live.
New Orleans tours are given by experienced tour guides. They have extensive knowledge of the ecology of the bayou as well as the history surrounding the swamps. All guides have a wonderful sense of humor and they go out of their way so one can catch a glimpse of alligators in the water.
