What to expect

You'll board and settle onto the deck or inside seating as the vessel departs. Over 90 minutes, the skipper points out significant landmarks and weaves in stories tied to the area's past. The pace is leisurely—no rushing, plenty of time to photograph and absorb the views. Afternoon tea arrives partway through: tea, coffee, and a selection of baked goods. The bar sits ready if you want to upgrade with a wine or beer. Restrooms are available should you need them. You'll receive a river map as a keepsake.
