Awesome trip, even in the rain! - This was a very laid back, relaxing, and informative tour. Captain Charles is a great host and guide. He explains the history of the landscape while going up the river. The crown of the tour is the falls, and all the history around it. No regrets here, don't hesitate booking!

Views, info and fall beauty! - Wonderful fall day to visit the falls and see the beautiful changing leaves on the trees. Great info shared by the Captain, very knowledgeable about the history of the river and the corresponding homes/buildings and banks on the sides. Great fun for me on this fall but sunny day!

Not just for Tourists - Our family had a wonderful time. Perfect weather! Captain Steve had a great sense of humor :) My family lives here, while I only came for the weekend. They really enjoyed seeing their environment from a different angle. Not only a great family activity for tourists but for the locals as well. Thank you Captain Steve for a great afternoon, and thank you to the Millar Family (and Amelia) for being the best part.

Fantastic Time - What an absolute wonderful time with Captain Charles! He is a great host on his boat and a great tour guide full of knowledge of the surrounding areas. We saw some great bridges, eagles, the Free Willy Home, and not to mention the spectacular falls. Definitely worth it. Thank you, Captain Charles, for the most memorable time!

Fantastic private pontoon boat tour - Captain Steve did a great job giving us an overview of the area! There were four of us so it was a very private and customized tour. Could not recommend it more!
