boat tour

Sightseeing by vessel

A boat tour is a guided excursion by water, typically for sightseeing or wildlife observation.

Boat tours range from harbor cruises to river trips to whale-watching expeditions: We took a boat tour of the canals in Amsterdam.

The term emphasizes the recreational or educational nature of the trip rather than transportation from one place to another.
