Finn was a fantastic operator & full of information about the Dart River & its surrounds. Could tell how much he loved his job. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! Would highly recommend & do again in a heartbeat.
Don’t sit in the back row if your boat has bench seating in the back.

Our driver, Jordan, was great and the scenery was majestic. My issue was with the boat itself. The two other boats that went out at the same time had 4 seats in the back row. The boat my husband and I were on had bench seating in the back row and 5 people were expected to sit in that row. Unfortunately for us, we were in the back row. There were already three people in the row, and a couple were larger sized. When my husband and I sat down there was really no room for us. My husband sat on the end, on the outside. I had to squeeze in, and did not fully fit. I am 5’2” and 125 pounds. I was unable to put my arms down by my side and had to shift sideways against the back of the seat. I was very uncomfortable the entire ride, which made for an unpleasant experience. My suggestion would be to not sit in the back, if you can manage that, or jump on a boat with just 4 seats in the back row. I mentioned my bad experience to the front desk clerk and was told he would pass the information on to management, which in my experience generally means too bad, so sad for you.
Fantastic Day

Beautiful ride down the river. The views are spectacular. Our guide was interesting. I think it's important to know this is a more leisurely experience (lots and lots of time stopped on the banks chatting), versus the wild rides closer to town. We took two senior citizens along and they had no problem boarding the boat and being comfortable. Teens might have been a touch bored. The wind is insane and sunglasses are a must. Life jackets and rain coats were supplied. No problem fitting the heavier seniors. The drive out is easy and pretty, it was simple to find the building and park, and the town itself is cute to explore. We enjoyed it, but did think it was too expensive, specially considering so much time idling.
Great back country experience 👍

What a great day to experience the back country of the Dart river. Our guide Pedro did a great job making sure everyone was comfortable and left with a good understanding of the river.
