Traveler reviews
Great Lake Experience
Jenna and Vic were a great team. Very knowledgable, entertaining, and enjoyable. Nice gift shop and snack bar.
It was a cute little...
It was a cute little activity. 1hr is not long enough to make it to see devil's pass, so that was a bit disappointing since thats what the description originally said. Regardless, the ride was still amazing, lovely views of the mountains.
Well worth the money!
The cruise was super cool. Learned lots about the area. The history of the lake was fascinating. Holly and Cpt. Madeline were amazing too! There was a scared little kid on our cruise and they took the time to calm him down and tried to ease his worries while we waited to depart. Holly also later took a moment to speak with each person on the boat which made it all that more special. Gorgeous views, fun boatride, and great staff!
Serene cruise
Maddie and Madeleine were a great captain/guide combo. We learned so much about the area and how to enjoy the peace of this beautiful place. Not a great morning for wildlife, but that is always subject to weather, etc.
Smoky day...but still beautiful!
Holly and Emma were great Captains! Knew the info well and were fun!
