Super fun all the way. The boat pilots give you a great thrill the entire ride with plenty of surprises. We saw tons of cool birds. And the dinner and service at the lodge is outstanding.

What a great trip we had. Everything was amazing. The staff was so much fun and welcoming. Definitely something we’ll do again and recommend to our friends and family.

Overall, the food is great. There's room for improvement, but still pretty impressive considering the demanding crowd they have to serve at all once. For example, I had two giant scalloped potato slices that weren't cooked all the way through (understandable) and the dessert was terrible in my opinion, but others thought it was the best ever. Personally, I think apple crisp is supposed to have apples in it, but I guess some people are ok with semi-sweet dried out oatmeal. I actually hate scalloped potatoes, but I ate three servings because they were so good. The salads were well trimmed and did not have excessive ribs left on the leaves. However, a lot of people found it odd there was only a mustard dressing available. One person thought it tasted like Chick-fil-A sauce, but I thought it tasted like it had an Italian dressing base. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Those willing to try it didn't compliment it. The veggie trays were not good. No one wanted the white, cracked and dried out carrots or celery. And there was no ranch for anyone to hydrate them with. I've seen photos in other reviews where the apple crisp and veggies looked fresh, so maybe it was just an accident.
I've had much worse for much more money. But the meats on the other hand, were perfection. Generous helpings perfectly cooked, juicy, tender, and served hot. The same goes for the cornbread. The best I've ever had.
The wait staff is amazing. Please tip them generously. They absolutely deserve it.

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly atmosphere.
They use family-style serving, meaning you take your serving and pass it to the next person. You'll have to ask someone to pass something to you.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can ride the boats in a wheelchair, and you can get to the lodge as well. They have a trailer with a table and benches for you and your party to ride up to the lodge in, and they take you back to the boat afterwards.

It was a blast. Bring a jacket and a rain poncho, it gets cool in the evening and if you're lucky you will get wet.

Thus was our 7th Jetboat excursion, and the best one yet. It’s a fun experience. We’ve now taken all of our grandchildren on the ride. Recommended to all.

We enjoyed the whitewater tour today. Our captain, Bo was so funny. We got soaked and did so many spins. I can’t wait to do it again.

I went yesterday with a program at the college I attend. It was the first time I've ever been on a jet boat, so I was very nervous. I also get motion sickness easily, so I was worried about the multiple 360 turns. Dramamine saved the day, and I had one of the greatest days of my life. Our group took the two-hour tour. I wasn't even off of the boat and I was thinking of my second visit. My family has to learn how awesome the experience is. The captain was funny, kind, and he is excellent at his job.

May of 2023, party of 5. We were 2nd party seated. Last to order. That wouldn't be so bad, however a large group were on their second drinks before our first order taken. It was disappointing to be ignored. None of us will be back.

Chad was the best driver I've ever had, and I come down for a boat ride at least once per year! We had a very best girls day out!
