How to enjoy the speed boat ?
A speed boat trip could be a pleasant as well as a thrilling experience but the followings should be observed : it does not rain, the river is not too dry (in such case it does not go), your wear plenty of clothes incl. a wind proof jacket, you have earplugs & glasses (helmets could also be provided if required), you aren’t scared of speed, you have no back problem. Boats usually take 6 people : this mean you will seat with no space to extend your legs as the small seat pad is on the floor. As the back support is made of wood, this is a relatively uncomfortable position and I would not recommend doing a trip longer than 3 hours. As for the speed, it certainly add thrill to the day but do not really let you admire the view (and certainly not make photos) and has been fatal to some people in the past.
