2012 Riverboat Tours Announced

 

Experience the Blackstone River Aboard the Blackstone Valley Explorer

The Blackstone Valley Tourism Council (BVTC) has announced the 2012 schedule for its popular scenic and interpretive tours on the Blackstone River aboard the Blackstone Valley Explorer riverboat.

2012 Public Riverboat Tours will operate Sunday afternoons only, from May 6 to October 14.

The Blackstone Valley Explorer is a 40-passenger riverboat, the only one of its kind on the Blackstone River. Since 1993, when the boat cruises began, more than 25,000 passengers annually have come from local, national and global destinations to take 45 minute narrated tours along sections of the Blackstone River.

Explore the river that was once called "America’s Hardest Working River" and discover the river’s ecosystem as you learn about the river’s industrialized past, the river’s restoration, and what we are doing to help the river live again.

Tours operate hourly on Sunday afternoons only at 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm and 4 pm from Central Falls Landing, located at the intersection of Broad Street & Madeira Avenue, at the Central Falls/Cumberland border, Central Falls, RI.

Tickets for public tours are $10/adults, $8/children & seniors. RI State sales taxes apply.

All tours operate rain or shine subject to river conditions. Schedule is subject to change. For tickets, reservations and information call BVTC 724-2200, www.rivertourblackstone.com e-mail keep.bv.beautiful@gmail.com
