I can’t recommend doing a Rhine Valley cruise enough. This was a fabulous way to see the Rhine Valley. Doing the KD cruise was absolutely the best thing we did while staying in this part of Germany. The KD boat leaves from a number of locations. We got on at Mainz because that's where our hotel was. It was very simple. We bought our tickets that morning and the boat left from in front of the ticket booth (see photo). I would recommend sitting outside at the back of the boat but it really doesn't matter which side you choose because both sides of the river are dotted with castles, vineyards and pretty, colourful houses. It really is as lovely as it sounds. HIGHLIGHTS: • The most scenic part and the part with the all of the castles is between Rudesheim and St Goarshausen. The boat commentary is in English and German and will point these out to you (although it can be hard to hear outside) • Stopping at Rudesheim was a real highlight. There was a 2 hour gap between boats – long enough for us to look around the town, get the cable car up to the Neiderwald Monument, walk back down through the vineyards and have a traditional German lunch. • We loved being able to sit out the back of the boat in the sun and order a bottle of champagne – it doesn't get a lot better than that. PLANNING TIPS: • KD boats are not frequent so make sure you check out the timetable in advance. In the mornings from Mainz, they only leave at 8:30am and 9:30am (less frequent in winter). • You can get off at various towns along the way but (and this is a big but) you need to carefully to coordinate your timing. Given the timing issues, it is best to attempt only one town. If you get off, make sure you know know when the next boat is coming and keep an eye on the time. If you miss it, you won’t be stranded because can still get a train (but you will miss your cruise). • The timetable is just plain difficult to read. I relied on double-checking our timing with staff before we got on and off. • Ticket prices vary depending on how many zones you are doing. Mainz to St Goars was €52 (€59 return). • A return ticket is good value but we opted to get the boat one way and the train back. Return boats don't leave until quite late in the day and the trip back is against the current so it takes a lot longer. Beautiful as the cruise is, once you have done it, you don't really want to do it all over again. • It is worth noting that the boat was very steady. I am tend to get sea-sick but I was fine and didn't feel at all unwell. • Take a hat and sunglasses but also take something warm. It was a beautiful sunny day but it still got cold on the water in the afternoon.

We found this park by chance earlier in the year and returned in the summer. What a great place! The animals are well cared for and interactive. We enjoyed a meal while the children enjoyed the activities and then drive the route. Despite being there for 4 hours we ran out of time to visit the monkey areas so I suspect we will be back.
