We attempted to cancel our booking just two hours after making it, as the website indicated we could. Given that my husband’s 69th birthday is on 6/12/25, we opted out after further consideration. However, we found we couldn’t cancel online and were instructed via text to contact the third-party booking company. Our attempts to reach them were unsuccessful, with no responses to our texts. We believe we are entitled to a full refund.
Meeting at the boat dock, we discussed safety before setting off, which was enjoyable and informative. Our family had a blast, and the boat driver was very friendly, ensuring we all had a great experience. We're excited to book the 15-mile boat ride next time.
The guide provided clear information about what to anticipate, addressed safety and potential risks, making me feel safe while on his boat.
The boat ride perfectly balanced relaxation and excitement. The twists and turns were enjoyable (not scary at all), and CAPTAIN WILEY was amiable, making the experience feel safe and organized. This ride is ideal for those who want to unwind or share a few laughs over mild waves. Would I recommend it? Definitely. Would I convince my husband to join me again, even though he acted tough the entire time? For sure. I highly suggest this for couples, families, or anyone seeking some adventure without feeling wiped out afterward.
We enjoyed a fantastic and quick adventure that was definitely worth it. It was an exhilarating experience, and while the captain prioritized safety, we still had a thrilling ride. Thank you for the wonderful time!

The experience was enjoyable, but it felt too brief given how much fun it was. I was disappointed that I didn't receive the photos or videos captured on the boat. I would definitely go again, but for a longer duration.
