Located in Historic Dover Landing, Cochecho River Tours & Cruises offers a varied schedule of public tours of the Cochecho and Piscataqua Rivers. And now that summer is just about over, Cochecho River Tours is offering four different Fall Foliage Tours to celebrate the beauty of New England in the fall!

Foliage Tours of the Cochecho & Upper Piscataqua Rivers along with The Great Bay Estuary will run for the remainder of the season. These tours will be colorful and the beauty of the rivers and bay will be sights you'll remember for a long time. The Foliage Tours last for about 1-1/2 hour, costing about $20 per person. Choose from two different tours that provide sights of colorful foliage, local wildlife, and beautiful homes.

Reservations are required for all weekday tours, though weekend tours welcome walk-on passengers. Call (603) 749-1922 (toll-free 866-749-1922) for reservations.

Food and beverages are allowed on-board, and tables can be set up upon request.
Depending on age and size, some children and infants may need to wear a life jacket during the cruise. Most children are fine for about an hour to an hour and a half. After this time frame most children lose interest in the surroundings and like to get back to shore.
