Adventure Tips
Arrive Early to Settle In
Getting to the dock 15 minutes early ensures a smooth boarding process and the chance to choose your favorite vantage point on deck.
Pack a Light Jacket
Evenings on the river can be breezy; a light jacket will keep you comfortable as the sun dips below the horizon.
Bring a Camera with a Zoom Lens
To capture details of distant bridges and architectural features, a camera with zoom will make your photos stand out.
Mind Your Motion Sensitivity
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive measures before boarding as the river’s current may cause gentle rocking.
