Alex is the best. He is very knowledgeable about the area, the lake and ensures you have a great time. He goes above and beyond. Thank you Alex. Terry LeBlanc

Awesome experience. Captain Emily shared so much about the river and took us for a fast and fun ride. Seeing the wildlife and being on the water was really a fun memory. Take a tour and see for yourself. Old or young-- this is for everyone! Dress normal. You don't need bathing suits. But bring a good camera or even binoculars. Oh what you may see 🦅 🦅 👀

What a great experience! Captain Ricky was absolutely fantastic. Pointed out all the wildlife he saw to us. He also showed us an area that is home to a lot of bald eagles! We were able to see a few and really enjoyed our time on the water. The boat was very comfortable too. 15/10 would totally recommend!
