Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your priorities — Normal boats suit a simple budget-friendly ride, Light & Decorated boats add festive visuals, Bajra boats suit larger groups, and Luxury Cruises suit visitors who want extra comfort.

A Normal boat is a smaller traditional rowboat suited to individuals, couples or small families, while a Bajra is a larger, more stable double-hulled boat suited to bigger groups travelling together.

A Luxury Cruise is a good option if you prefer covered or more comfortable seating, are travelling with elderly family members or young children, or simply want a more premium experience on the water.
