It was a nice slow cruise...

It was a nice slow cruise thru the lake. It was a hard day to see because of the weather. Wish the windows opened because it was hot and more information was given about what we were seeing. Traveling with my kids and it was not entertaining for them. Slow and a tag borring

Definitely not worth it. ...

Definitely not worth it. There are many other boats on the lake that will take you out to different locations. It was a beautiful lake and I would have liked to do more.
