Frequently asked
How do I pay?
Cash on the day, by the boat — not per person. There’s no deposit, no online payment, no booking fee.
What if it rains?
Tours run rain or shine. The mangrove canopy keeps most of it off you, and the river is just as beautiful when the sky is grey.
Can Roy pick us up from a cruise ship in port?
Yes — message him first thing in the morning when your ship docks at Portsmouth and he can usually fit you in between the morning and afternoon runs.
How big a group can he take?
Up to about ten people per boat. For bigger groups, message Roy and he can coordinate a second boat.
Do I need to book in advance?
A day or two ahead is plenty. Same-day bookings often work too — just message Roy and ask.
