A boat tour is a short trip in a small boat taken for tourist reasons, typically starting and ending in the same place, and normally of a duration less than a day. This contrasts with cruising in large ships for a number of days with accommodation in cabins. Usually, a sightseeing boat is used.
Example boat tours include:
- Bateaux Mouches on the River Seine in Paris
- Jaws theme park boat tour, Florida, USA
- Maid of the Mist at the Niagara Falls, Canada/USA
