The audio system failed. No back up was available. The boat captain did not provide enough historical information about the lakes. I wouldn’t recommend this tour.

Very stress free cruise lasting a hour. The running commentary was both interesting and informative with some humour included. Boat was very comfortable with windows that could be opened, ideal for photography on a wet day which we had. Scenery was stunning and impressive. High recommended trip to take when in the area.

Our skipper Paul was informative and amusing. He made our experience a trip to remember, including a highlight for us of pointing out a White Tail Eagle soaring above the lake.
I have mobility problems and the crew were more than helpful .
