Arrive early

Reserve lunch time
Allow 60–90 minutes for your three-course meal so you can return on a comfortable later boat rather than rushing to catch the first one.

Check return times
Confirm the last boat back (typically 18:20) and ask the captain about schedule changes due to weather or river conditions.
