What To Expect
Lake Pleasant Regional Park
Our tour begins at the 10-lane boat ramp, where we will load up. Go over boat safety. We set sail from the south ramp dock, heading north. Occasionally, the captain will make stops to highlight interest points like coves, mountains and beautiful landscapes. In the end we sail south, at a steady slow speed capturing the rest of the lakes vistas where we will reach our end stop back at the 10-lane boat ramp.

Tour cancelled at last minute. Captain called in sick. We were already in park and paid $10 entrance fee.

1.00We arrived at the street locations noted on the tour but there was no boat nearby. We called Viator for help who was unable to contact the vendor or provide any directions on location to meet. We called the vendor phone # listed five times, texted and the VM stated box was full. We continued to drive around & asked people but never found the boat. We drove an hour there, paid a fee to enter the area and had to drive an hour back home as we never took the tour boat. Very disappointing and highly do not recommend this vendor.
Great experience - 100% recommended!

5.00Ed, the captain was great! He communicated with me several days before the trip, which helped us to be prepared and know that to expect. He provided very clear direction on where to be and what time. When we met, Ed was super friendly and made the family adventure super relaxing and fun. He explained and shared information about the lake, stopped in several sections to provide information and take some great pictures. We got some snacks (we brought them - he had already shared that we could bring our own snacks), and the kids even had a chance to get in the water. I recommend Ed and this company 100%. It was a great experience well worth the money!
Captain Ed was amazing!...

1.00We arrived at the location 15 minutes early and we couldn’t find it. I tried calling / text and left a voicemail but no response. We waited for another hour but nothing. I would like to get a refund!
Edwin for the WIN!

5.00Edwin is the Captain you want. He was informative, great conversationalist, and hands down courteous to everyone, including the other boaters. We headed out on a gorgeous day and Edwin made sure to help us capture the picturesque background for the perfect photos.
Great Times with Captain Edwin!

5.00My family took a boat ride with Captain Edwin. He was such a knowledgeable captain on Lake Pleasant. The ride was great and he showed us how to drive the boat just in case we wanted to rent a boat on our own. Overall, we would certainly recommend Captain Edwin for a boat ride for you and your family!!
Blissful
