5.00You can hear the gentleman talking loud and clearly along with having the air conditioner in the bottom of the boat working well.
Nice cruise but please stop with the tractor trailer horns!

4.00Awesome cruise down the New River and Intracoastal. The narrator is very informative and adds good flavor. I love that we could get “blender drinks” onboard! The only downside for this “River Boat Cruise” is that the Captain uses his truck horns when turning around. It would be so much more authentic and pleasurable for the kids (and big kids) if he used the whistle instead!
We had a great time on...

4.00This was a relaxing way to see Fort Lauderdale. We appreciated the reasonable price and were thankful for the shady area to sit on the top level of the boat. The River Walk area is beautiful.
Great tour!

5.00We needed to spend some time in Ft. Lauderdale before heading to the airport and found this great 1.5 hr trip. It was fun seeing the sights on the canals including various buildings and the waterfront mansions full of history and interesting architecture. Our tour guide Drew gave informational facts, humor, and plenty of time to take pictures. We went at 11am and wasn’t highly crowded. Upper deck had much better views, but there is an air conditioned first floor too. Highly recommend!
Great tour
