Did the self drive day hire, staff were friendly and informative. Quite easy to drive the boat and all required equipment is both provided and explained. Map given which lists the bridges and you are informed of the locations of the narrow parts of the canal.
Boat is nice small size which is handy for beginners but plenty of space including outdoor seats and indoor area with table. Toilet on board along with fridge, sink, kettle, plates, cutlery, tea/coffee/sugar, kitchen towels & washing up liquid.
Good amount of time given for the route. Takes about 2hrs to travel there and 2hrs 30mins to travel back so you have a good few hours to stop and relax along the way. 09.30 arrival and you have the boat until 5pm. Dogs can come along too.
Overall, good and different experience. Would do this again.
We hired a day boat for my father in law's 80th birthday and had a fabulous time. The handover and safety briefing was very easy to follow and provided by a lovely friendly man.
The day boat has everything you need and we had a brilliant day. My father in law loved steering the boat. Definitely recommend it and the people that run the boats are so friendly and accommodating.
Fantastic trip over the aquaduct.
Stunning views
Staff were welcoming and informative
Definitely recommend
Returned to do the horse drawn trip the next day.
Dakota was the perfect travel companion
Fabulous views to the Horseshoe falls
