This was such a fabulous experience. It was recommended to us by a friend and we were so grateful we did this experience. The old coal powered boat is beautiful, the farm is stunning and the food exceptional. Highly recommend.

Amazing and accommodating staff. We went on the 11:15 time slot and there wasn't much of a crowd. We were able to roam freely in around the boat for the best views!! The rain and weather added to the breathtaking experience. The views were spectacular and truly otherworldly!!

Loved the small boat and that we could get close to the waterfall. My husband and I were happy to be able to stand in front of the boat while the boat was turning. Best experience of our trip! Thanks so much and for the skipper for all the information given during the tour.
