Important information

Wildlife lives freely along the river, so we cannot guarantee sightings of a particular animal. Boat operation depends on weather and the attraction’s conditions. Follow crew instructions when boarding and on the river. After the tasting, your driver takes you straight back to your accommodation.

Tell us about mobility or accessibility needs before booking. Attraction paths, steps and boat access may not suit every guest; we must confirm accessible arrangements with the attraction. Alcohol tasting is subject to the attraction’s legal-age rules; bring identification if requested. Do not drive after drinking.

Availability

Plan this combination for Tuesday–Saturday, within Appleton Estate’s published schedule. Contact us before booking to confirm river-boat departures, attraction entry and your pickup time.

Your travel date and itinerary are subject to attraction availability. We will confirm arrangements with you before the trip.
