Creator's Key Takeaways

So, this costs 750 L per person. Uh 1,500 total. So, that's about $40 US for a 2-hour cruise for two people.

It is cold and windy out here, so make sure you bring a hoodie and put your hat on tight if you don't want to lose it.

I'd say number one is definitely dress warm because even though today was a relatively warm day, you get out here on the river and that wind is whipping and it is very chilly, especially at sunset.

Pro tip number two is get all the free water that you can because they have free water on board.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Dress warm for the wind and chill, especially at sunset.
βœ“Get all the free water you can on board.
βœ“Do your research before the cruise to understand what you're seeing.
