FAQs
Arrive 15 minutes before departure for check-in and the mandatory safety briefing.
Wear flat shoes (no high heels). Regular street clothes work, but it can feel cooler on the water—bring a light jacket. In March, April, October, and November, dress extra warm and bring a hat, gloves, and warm shoes.
Bring children only if they ride with a parent or guardian. The boats are not suited for all small children; if your child is under 4 years old, confirm suitability before you book.
