5.00Enjoyable boat cruise in the lake with an excellent tour guide and boat captain for 1 hour. Liam was very knowledgeable and entertaining and asked us individually if we had any questions! Loved the silent moment on the water too.
A Must Do!!!

3.00The parking is horrible and the walk is far. If you dont want to run make sure you are hours early. IF you take forever for parking and then walk forever to the boat and your late you wait to maybe get on the next ride for a 100 bucks and not even a drink or snack offered. The boat ride is beautiful and people are nice.
