Definitely worth the cost! Our guide was a riot and made the experience so much fun. Weather was perfect and the trip down the Dora Canal was amazing. The boat takes a bit to get used to and the wakes are pretty rough when following behind a few boats. But absolutely loved it and would do again for sure

We went on the CatBoat adventure back in August. These little boats are a blast. Just make sure the lake is calm because you do bounce around. The slow pace through the canal was amazing. Can't say enough good things about Captain Ron. What a hoot! Enjoyed all the history he shared.

I'm from the entertainment capital of the world so I'm sometimes hard to impress. This tour is A+. Our guide, Captain Ron, was awesome. He was funny, informative, observant, and safe. He gave us a warning about the possibility of choppy waters, gave perfect instruction and let us decide how comfortable we were. We excitedly embarked on the adventure. The open water was pretty choppy but only sketchy enough to be fun. The Dora Canal is simply beautiful. This is the stuff of movies, literally. Several movies were filmed there. We saw a ton of birds, ancient cypress trees, otter and even an alligator. At the end, Captain Ron even made some recommendations for our trip based on our interests. This tour, and our guide, score 10 out of 10.

This is a great place with a lot of fun. Everyone can drive these boats. Nick was exciting, informative, and funny. Had a great time. He let us go free near the end and just enjoy the open water. I would go here again. Just make sure you take off your shoes or wear sandals for your feet will get wet. Taught us how to navigate if the waters got a little choppy but Nick was always near by to help out if needed. A must see thing to do and worth the price.

AMAZING! I highly highly recommend this tour! Ron was our guide and he was just so genuine and knowledgeable about the area. Before the tour we were facing up to 22mph winds on the water and they warned us that we might get wet, but we went anyways and we're SO glad! We saw a wild gator, a huge otter, some bald eagles, and much more! The boats are fast and fun and our guide was amazing!! You would be missing out if you skipped this attraction!

My parents and Ron!

A wild gator!

These are little pontoon boats that have a huge motor to move you around on the lakes. We signed up for a Friday tour but got rained out but they let us rescheduled for Sunday. We were the only one to go out that day! So much fun. So worth to time and money. Going through the Dora canal was an experience. Capt Brian was great and had lots of history. Highly recommend for something to do when in Mt Dora

We just had an incredible evening with Captain Ron! We went on the beautiful sunset tour for our second year anniversary and Captain Ron helped making it even more special! It was amazing! I would highly recommend this to anyone sicking fun and adventure while visiting Mount Dora. The catboat was super cool and very informative! Thank you again for all the fun! We will come back!

We absolutely had an amazing adventure. From the moment we arrived at the dock, we began receiving great customer service. The staff was funny and knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything patiently. Being a boater, I never would have expected to have such a good time on these little boys but they were amazingly fun! Zooming across the water and going through a nature area, we were able to capture a lot of wild life and beautiful birds and scenery. It was simply an amazing day. I will definitely be back! (Picture is of someone else I took a picture of)

Captain Todd is an absolute Hoot! He's entertaining and hilarious and makes every moment of the tour enjoyable. We came out here to celebrate my friends birthday and glad that we opted to do something different. The tour was so much fun that it made 2 hours feel like 30 minutes.

The boats are a blast to drive. Takes a few minutes to get the feel of them, and then watch out! Waterworld here I come. The canal is cool. Captain Tony is entertaining, albeit corny, but I'm corny too, so.... If you want an adventure, book this trip.
