Suitable for most fitness levels; requires basic balance for boarding and moving on deck
The tour lists wheelchair‑accessible transport, but boarding the boat may require stepping down to a narrow deck; check with the operator in advance for assistance.
Many private sails include a brief stop at a small riverside islet to sample fruit and stretch; stops depend on river conditions and captain discretion.
