Very fun and entertaining experience
Nice experience! The tour guide is also super fun and nice! Not boring at all. I love the weather, the scenery and the experience!
fantastic boat ride. better than the scenic railway as the slower pace allow more time to snap pictures and enjoy the autumn colours. the boatman were funny which added more fun to the tour. the periodic rapids also add to the excitement. highly recommended
