New Orleans → Oak Alley Plantation: key facts

Private transfer, New Orleans Airport (MSY) to Oak Alley Plantation: the car (1–3 passengers) is $170 and the van (4–8) is $240, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 66 km on the road via LA 3127 and I 310; about 1h off-peak, 60–75 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits for you on Level 1 in the baggage claim hall of the terminal, holding a sign with your name, and walks with you to the vehicle at the Ground Transportation Center outside the baggage claim doors. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Oak Alley Plantation stands on the west bank of the Mississippi in Vacherie, St. James Parish, about 66 km from the airport. The usual drive heads west on Interstate 310 and crosses the Mississippi on the Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge, then follows Louisiana Highway 3127 upriver through sugar cane fields before turning onto the River Road, Louisiana Highway 18, for the last few kilometres. The route avoids city traffic, but the two-lane highways can be slowed by trucks, and fog over the river is common on winter mornings.

Oak Alley is a former sugar plantation known for its double row of twenty-eight live oaks, planted in the early eighteenth century, that leads from the River Road to the columned main house built in the 1830s. The grounds include exhibits on the lives of the enslaved people who worked the plantation, a restaurant and overnight cottages. Other historic plantations along the River Road, such as Laura Plantation in Vacherie and Whitney Plantation in Wallace, lie a short drive away, so visitors often combine two sites in one day.

Public transport: No scheduled public transport runs from the airport to Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie; the plantation is reached by road along the Mississippi.
