We recommend bringing water, sunscreen, and any other personal items needed. Dress for the outdoors and to be on the pontoon for at least 1.5 hours. Please have an email copy of your reservation available, if needed. Guides will check in passengers by the name included on your party's reservation.

ADA requirements are met by our 31' boat, and we only ask to be informed of any ADA needs prior to the departure date to make necessary adjustments. We have a ramp available to assist wheelchair and walker users in boarding the pontoon.
