4 Bold Ways to Kick Off the Year in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou
New Year’s resolutions come and go … but what if this year you didn’t try to overhaul your whole life? What if you just decided to be a little bolder with how you spend your time?
That’s the idea behind our new “Geaux Bold” campaign, which puts an emphasis on embracing experiences that shake up routines and reminds you that fun doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether bold means adventure, movement, connection or flavor, Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou makes it easy to say “yes!”
Here are four bold ways to kick off the year in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou:
Get Your Heart Pumping on an Airboat Tour with Arthur Matherne
If your idea of being bold involves speed and the wind in your hair, this one’s for you! An airboat tour is a front-row seat to the wild side of Lafourche Parish. You’ll glide through marshes and waterways, spot wildlife, and hear stories you won’t find in any old guidebook. It’s adventurous without being intimidating, exactly the kind of moment that sets the tone for a bold year ahead.
Stretch Your Legs on a Historic Thibodaux Walking Tour
Bold doesn’t have to mean fast-paced. Sometimes it means slowing down, getting outside and actually living in the moment. A Historic Thibodaux Walking Tour is a perfect way to move your body while soaking up the stories that shaped our charming town. From grand homes to hidden details you won’t notice from a car, it’s equal parts exercise and discovery.
Make Time for Togetherness at Bayou Country Children’s Museum
If your goal this year is to spend more quality time with the people you love, the Bayou Country Children’s Museum delivers in the best way. This hands-on space invites kids (and adults) to play and learn together … no screens required. It’s the kind of place where laughter comes easily and memories are made without trying.
Forget the Calories on the Cajun Bayou Food Trail
Some resolutions are meant to be broken, especially the ones about counting calories and eating less. The Cajun Bayou Food Trail is your official permission slip to indulge. With restaurants serving bountiful meals made from recipes that have been passed down for generations, this is bold flavor at its finest. Follow your appetite, try something you’ve never ordered before and let the bayou guide your taste buds.
Before you dive headfirst into your adventure, there’s one easy stop that helps tie it all together: our new experiential Visitor Center in Raceland. It’s the perfect place to get oriented and map out which experiences match YOUR version of bold.
Bold plans shouldn’t be intimidating. Whether you’re skimming across the bayou, strolling historic streets, making memories with family or following our food trail one bite at a time, Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou makes it easy to say “yes” to something different.
