Awesome 1hr trip on the solar powered boat. Don’t let the electric name fool you, we went the same speed as the other boats in the River, and had no smell or engine noise. Our hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the River and we were treated to two different wines.

The solar boat is the way to go! The only sounds are those of the water against the boat and nature. We enjoyed two glasses of wine and a serene ride along the river.
