| Bon voyage! Explore Louisiana on a bayou boat trip with a National Park Service ranger |
 |
Cruise Bayou Vermilion in a traditional Louisiana boat and learn the history of Lafayette, Louisiana's "Cajun Capital." A National Park Service ranger will share stories of Indians, farmers, trappers, and traders as you watch for wildlife on the banks and relive another era in an old-fashioned bayou "schoolboat."
Tours are offered in the spring and fall. Tours leave the dock at the Vermilionville Heritage and Folklife Park of the Bayou Vermilion District (right next door to the Acadian Cultural Center).
As of fall 2007, tickets prices are
- for the boat tour only: $10 adults, $8 seniors 62 and older, $6 children 4-18, children 3 and under free
- for the boat tour, a self-guided tour of Vermilionville Heritage and Folklife Park, and lunch at Vermilionville's restaurant: $24 adults, $22 seniors 62 and older, $16 children 4-18, children 3 and under free
Call Vermilionville at 337-233-4077 for reservations and more information.
