I get it trips get cancelled when there aren't enough people signed up for it. But in this case, they didn't even bother to tell me/us. Even got the confirmation/reminder email the day before. So being at the pickup point and its 5 minutes after we're supposed to leave, I call them to see what's going on and then they tell me it got cancelled and I should've been told Tuesday, but obviously wasn't and again, even got the confirmation/reminder email the day before. As someone that doesn't get a lot of time out work to burn a day off with nothing to show for it is extremely frustrating, and honestly, I just can't risk getting burned again. The owner Ted called later that day offering to make it right and I was refunded the money for the trip and the other trip I cancelled but I can't risk burning another day off with nothing to show for it. The people have always been nice, so I won't completely knock them, but beware even getting a confirmation email the day doesn't mean the trip is happening.

My husband and I booked the Brunch Tour on 05/24/2026, it started at 9AM, it was a rainy day…read more Despite that we both had so much fun. The staff were all genuinely happy to work despite the rainy day. I personally thought that I wouldn't make the tour as I am not phyisically fit. But the 1st 3 miles were a breeze because most of the time it is going downhill. Then we had brunch- there was an assortment of croissants, muffins, breakfast pastries, coffee, tea and juices. They also provided 2 tickets each/ person for alcohol. No one in our tour drank alcohol as it was too early. The second 3 miles of going back was a tiny bit hard because you are going uphill, but because you are enjoying yourselves too much- you wont even feel the pain. The staff kept on asking if we want our pictures taken. That was constant. You don't have to ask them. They will ask you. This is truly a good experience. I am so glad we did it.

The first time I've seen it was on the show, The Real Housewives of RI. The weather was chilly and drizzly, but it turned out nice for us at our 5 pm departure. It's kid-friendly, we got to stop at a picnic spot with a fire and beautiful views of the water and the Newport bridge. It was easy but exhilarating; definitely a unique experience and I highly recommend. We booked a week in advance. The check in process was seamless. The ride took about an hour and a half with the stop at the picnic spot (there were bathrooms too). There is a parking lot as well. Yes, we would definitely do it again!

This location is inside Roger Williams Park, they offer the swan boats as well but when I looked on…read morethe website I saw that they have Pirate Boat Tours so I got excited brought my mom and went to go see what it was all about and it was well worth it. I didn't know what to expect but I know during the summer we like to do different things and it appeared different. I called and spoke with Cynthia and she was such a sweetheart and called over to the boat to make sure me and my mom were all set- so once we arrived Jordan whom was our " Captain Jack Sparrow" was eagerly awaiting our arrival. He was an absolute joy- he brought so much fun to this boat ride and even though my mom and I are adults - we are simply big kids at heart and Jordan just added more excitement to that. The boat is decorated so cute, our Captain offered us a necklace and pirate coins RRRRRR. We went on a nice sail around the park (where the swan boats go), and everyone was taking pictures of the boats and us- I hope more people find out about this option because it was only $15.00 per adult for a 25 minutes exploration ride which was so much fun. Wait it was sooooooo much fun. Kids are allowed on the boat at a cheaper rate. Check out the website for prices. The boat plays music and also Jordan played live music on his instrument- that was very fun and enjoyable. I can't wait to go back. I want to bring my nieces next time- this is for sure a kid friendly and adult friendly ride and very enjoyable. Jordan was a blast from beginning to end. How cool a pirate who's nice who would've thought of that? ‍!! He answered all our questions and he was so nice. I can't say it enough that Jordan for sure made this fun- because it could've been boring with the wrong pirate but this pirate was simply the best. My mom and I enjoyed it so much we didn't want it to end. We shall be back!!
