What people are saying

We had a bachelorette group of 14 and had an absolutely amazing time! The slides and lily pad were a blast and made the day so much fun. The office was a little busy with walk-in customers, so even though we had completed all waivers online, check-in took a bit longer than expected. However, they went above and beyond by giving us extra time on the water to make up for it—which was a wonderful surprise and excellent customer service. The deck crew was also fantastic, quickly grabbing a cart, loading up all of our things, and hauling them down to the pontoon for us. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!
