Great Day, Beautiful Vista - Thanks Captain Jeff for a great experience. Grant you I picked the weekend with the best weather and the peak colors but you did the rest! Your boat was immaculate and comfortable. It was so easy to get on and off. That’s not my usual experience with boats. I felt safe and confident. (That’s important for a Senior) You’ve got a great personality . Really enjoyed your humor. Your knowledge of the lake, local wildlife and the area added to the whole experience. I’ll be sure to recommend you to friends who may be traveling North to your beautiful area. Thanks Again, Kathleen W.

Favorite part of my weekend - This was such a nice experience. The weather was amazing and it was lovely seeing the colors from the lake. Captain Jeff was awesome. Very engaging and knowledgeable about the area. He had blankets ready for us and allowed us to bring our wine on board and play our own music. Absolutely delightful and can’t wait to do again next year.

Not great for us. Would be better if they're was color as the tour name implied. - It was advertised as a color tour but there was no color. The tour guide was pleasant but could have been better in terms of communicating what we would get out of the tour. The highlight was that we did see a bald eagle. Not worth the $150 we paid.
