Frequently asked questions

What if the weather is bad?

If the lake is rough or it is storming, we will move the cruise to another day or swap it for a lakeside evening in town.

Is it safe on the boat?

Yes. Boats carry life jackets for every guest and the crew know the lake well.

Can we combine it with the Entebbe walk?

Yes. Walk in the morning, cruise in the evening. It makes a lovely full day.
