A boat tour is a short trip in a relatively small boat taken for touristic reasons, typically starting and ending in the same place, and normally of a duration less than a day. This contrasts with river cruising, yacht cruising, and ocean cruising, in larger boats or cruise ships, for any number of days, with accommodation in cabins.
For boat tours, usually a sightseeing boat is used, but sometimes adapted amphibious vehicles or purpose-built amphibious buses. Boat tours are often on rivers and lakes, but can be on canals as well.[1][2] Sustainability is an increasing issue,[3] since there can be an impact on the environment.[4]
Examples
[edit]Example boat tours include:
- Bateaux Mouches on the River Seine in Paris, France
- Chao Phraya Express Boat on the Chao Phraya River in Thailand
- Jaws theme park boat tour, Florida, USA
- Maid of the Mist at the Niagara Falls, Canada/United States
