The tour was underwhelming and we only stopped once, maybe there wasn't much to see? Wanted the experience to be much more interactive and more scenic.

We rented the Astoria for a 3 night vacation and had a wonderful time. When we arrived the boat was…read moreready to go (actually an hour early) and were met by a full crew with carts at our vehicle ready to transport all our stuff to the boat. They also loaded all our stuff on the boat. Check in was easy and efficient. The Captain walked us thru the boat explaining everything we needed to know for our trip and answered all our questions. During the initial briefing the Captain walked us thru a map of the lake and made some recommendations for beaching. After piloting us out of the marina he offered to demonstrate beaching in a nearby cove which we happily accepted. It was a great location and we ended up staying there that night and relocated the next day. The boat operated flawlessly during our trip and they met us promptly on the morning of our return date which was important to us because we had plans to spend the day at Silver Dollar City. The captain quickly got us into the fuel dock for refuel and pump out. When we arrived back at the dock we were again met by a happy and efficient crew which unloaded our stuff and transported it all to our vehicle. Check out was also quick and efficient. We highly recommend them and would happily book with them agIan.

I was half-expecting to see a bear with a banjo or a raccoon running a moonshine still. Instead, we got about 140 acres of surprisingly legit wilderness... with signs. Lots of signs. Branson knows how to label a rock. The trail started off innocent enough--wood chips, some chirping birds, a suspicious squirrel staring us down. Then came the stairs. Not like "oh look, a couple of steps," but 315 stone steps carved into the side of a bluff like Mother Nature was training for a StairMaster commercial. Whoever built these things must have been part mountain goat, part lunatic. Down we went, each step echoing with the soundtrack of my thighs weeping. Somewhere between Step 89 and existential crisis, we passed a little cave where I'm 83% sure a wizard lives. It was cool, literally and metaphorically. We didn't go in though--look, we respect magical real estate. At the bottom was a view of Lake Taneycomo so pretty it made me forgive the stair situation. There were trees, chirping birds, and a breeze that whispered, "Hey, good luck going back up." We lingered at a little waterfall trickle (emphasis on trickle--it hadn't rained much) and contemplated faking an injury to avoid the climb. Eventually, we powered back up, legs shaking, pride shattered, but hearts full. Or maybe that was just dehydration. Back at the top, we found a porch swing near the ruins of an old homestead, which felt like a reward from the hiking gods. If you ever wanted to swing gently while staring into the distance and pretending you're in a Nicholas Sparks movie, this is your spot. All in all, 5 stars would hike again. Just next time, I'm bringing hiking poles.

They have their own parking lot that seemed to get people in and out, and their line was short to buy tickets. My guy asked the cashier if I could bring my fanny pack, to which she quickly replied no, it needs to stay in the car and cannot be brought along to the ride. While I appreciate this information at the ticket stand, it was quite frustrating to get back home and see some AI-consolidated mentions of small lockers from a few months ago. Not sure if this is true or not, but I feel it should be mentioned on the website in FAQs and on signage at the site. Other than that, as a tourist, I still enjoyed the ride.

Next you watch a video. Then they weigh you and check the height of the children. Weight limit is 300 pounds. They are big on safety-one at a time they seat you in the "coaster"- you are buckled in with 2 safety straps-additional child straps. There are handles to hold to control speed. I am not big on speed and went slow. The coaster climbs through the woods and fake animals are scattered throughout. At the top there is a shed and guide who gives a thumbs up and down the hill you go-tilting slightly at times and circling around. They assist you and unstrap you at the end. A photo is taken 3/4 of the way down-smile and try not to look scared! Summary All the locals recommended this ride as the most scenic and it was! Great fun-even for me who is skiddish about heights and speed. Note-second ride is discounted. Best ride ever! Loved it!!

Most of my crew is pretty nervous around heights and roller coasters, but everyone ended up loving it! I will admit, the idea of potentially getting too close to the person in front of you stressed me out a little. You do have to keep a certain distance, and I did get a little closer than I wanted to at one point. Thankfully, it was easy to brake and slow down, so it ended up being much less stressful than I expected. If the line isn't too long, I would definitely recommend doing it a few times. The wait can be a little lengthy, but it's worth it. The staff was fantastic, especially the guys helping everyone get started. They were fun, encouraging, and made the experience even better. One of them could tell my youngest was nervous and did such a great job calming him down and cheering him on before he took off. I wish I had gotten his name so I could give him a proper shoutout! This was such a fun family activity and a great memory for all of us. Definitely recommend it!
