Published on Mar, 2025

This was a lovely way to spend 90 minutes. I went on a beautiful day so the scenery was glorious - the sun was shining and the captain provided fantastic commentary which ranged from facts about the houses on the hills to the Remarkables mountain range. You can grab snacks and drinks on board if you like, and there is a toilet. Highly recommend!
