EXPLORE HOUMA

Located less than an hour from New Orleans in the heart of
Louisiana’s Bayou Country, Houma is the exciting adventure
waiting for your discovery. The early settlers to this area named
the parish Terrebonne or “good earth.” Visitors will discover
many good things throughout the city of Houma and its surrounding
communities: good people, food, and good times.

Uncover Houma’s rich and colorful 300-year-old history and
heritage at one of the city’s many museums and historic homes.
Looking for a bit of excitement? Then climb aboard one of
Houma’s many authentic swamp tours and see exotic wildlife up
close and personal. The very first swamp tour was started by a
Houma native, Alligator Annie Miller.

Be a part of an authentic Cajun Mardi Gras celebration. With
over a dozen parades, Houma boasts one of Louisiana’s largest
family-friendly Mardi Gras celebrations.

Looking for a culinary adventure? The Bayou Country Crawfish
Trail has over 40 restaurants and authentic boil houses serving
the original Cajun fair.
