Brandon_M, Aug 2023

I took my dog on one of the boats. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it. The check in was easy and the employees were very helpful.

Relaxing Vibes

Benji_U, Aug 2023

Chill first time experience with by wife. Little bit of a workout so be prepared lol. Overall, I definitely recommend.

Possibly better during the day?

Kiana_B, Aug 2023

Would recommend coming in the morning maybe? I loved watching the sunset, but the bugs get a little much and it can be crowded as a portion of the body of water is blocked off during the evening.

It was genuinely fun and...

Bryce_J, Jul 2023

It was genuinely fun and relaxing as well to just float around. It is a leg workout though so remember if you want to do it, you will work for it cause that peddling can get tiring!

Beautiful boat ride.

Alexa_D, Jul 2023

The boat was not hard to maneuver, my boyfriend did all the peddling because I couldn’t reach lol but other than that, it was Such a beautiful experience. Relax and enjoy nature🤍. Definitely something you should do in L.A! I will definitely go back but once the sun sets, I think that’ll be more romantic.

W experience

Luis_S, Jul 2023

Everything was as I imagined it and I recommend it for couples that want to go and have a date or even with family.

The vendor at the location was more helpful than the customer service at Viator (I will never purchase tickets again)

Mayra_C, Jul 2023

The boat ride was fun. I will definitely do it again but this time I will purchase my tickets at the location. Because Viator/TripAdvisor customer service sucks. They are rude and don’t help at all with simple questions. I was simply asking a question regarding my reservation. They need better training when it comes to customer service.

Great, super fun,...

Oriana_G, Jul 2023

Great, super fun, relaxing day was able to enjoy my day vacation by using the boat, very nice staff and fast process

Easy to change booking

Holly_W, Jul 2023

I was so happy to find out how easy it was to cancel and rebook when I accidentally chose the wrong date. I arrived and asked how soon before the ride I needed to check in - I was more than an hour early. They told I could do so immediately and take the ride. This was such an easy experience!

10/10

Rebecca_N, Jul 2023

Such a great experience for families, couples and friends. I highly recommend this to anyone who is in this area.

Very enjoyable

andrew_c, Jul 2023

The boats were very enjoyable snd look great lit up at night. An hour is a little too long though. We came off after about 40 minutes.

Paddling Therapy .. Off my bucket list. I plan to do it once a month..

kim_H, Jul 2023

So PEACEFUL.. Love the fact that I was able to TAKE MY therapy dog with me. . The employees were very nice Boat was clean.

Definitely do this experience.

Marvin_L, Jul 2023

Great experience and inexpensive. Book reservations. The only critique is restrooms aren’t up to par but I don’t know if that’s in their control given it’s a public park. Maybe they can get in touch with the city.

If you haven't done it! do it soon!

Lashawin_W, Jun 2023
