Frequently Asked Questions
- How long is the tour?
- The perfect length. Your sightseeing adventure lasts about 40 minutes with about 25 minutes of that time on the water. We pass by many of the important points of history and current event sites to give you an overview of the area. We leave you plenty of time to go back to the sites where you really want to spend more time.
- Where do I buy tickets?
-
Via the phone or at our ticket kiosk. As you can imagine our tours are very popular. To ensure you get a seat on the tour of your choice we recommend you purchase tickets in advance. Our phone number is 859-815-1439. If you prefer to book when you get to town, visit our ticket kiosk at the Newport on the Levee Entertainment Complex. We are outside near the Newport Aquarium.
- Are there restrooms on board?
- Sorry, no room. Go before you go. There are restroom facilities near our boarding locations. Any of our crew will be happy to direct you to the nearest facility.
- Can I take food and drink on board?
- Yep. Just remember the answer to the above question. Sorry no alcoholic beverages.
- Are you accessible to the disabled?
- At this time we regret that we cannot accommodate many physical disabilities. Please call our office at 859-815-1439 for clarification.
- Will I get seasick?
-
Probably not. We are only on the water for about 25 minutes. Our vehicle is built to be very stable on the water. Plus, the water ride is very tranquil and relaxing since our water speed tops out at 7 mph.
- Will I get wet?
- Probably not. We try to make our entry into the water fun, but not wet. However, there may be times when a little splash will make its way onboard.
- Do you have life jackets?
- Yes. Enough for a vehicle full of adults, children or a mix of both. We also have a duckload of other modern safety equipment on board. By the way, we have never had to use any of them, but you can never be too prepared.
- How much does it cost?
- Adults are $13, children are $10 and under 2 are free. Tickets can be purchased at Newport on the Levee in front of Newport Aquarium or by calling 859-815-1439.
