I had my first experience with Heartland Gondolas Inc. last night. We had a reservation at 8:30pm…read morefor 4 people on the private Gondola. Mike, the owner, had told me on the phone that it would be $10 per couple. When we got there our boat driver (who wasn't Mike), told me it was $20 per couple. I informed him that was not what I was told by Mike. He walked about 100 yards away to talk with Mike and then came back to inform me that Mike thought there was only one couple that I booked, but he would go ahead and do it for $20 but I could tell he was super angry. The gentleman (I don't know his name) then proceeded to give us the cold shoulder the whole ride. Wouldn't answer questions unless asked several times and then just gave one word answers. He scowled the entire ride. I felt bad because of the confusion so I apologized again after we got off the boat. He looked away from me as I was talking and drank a big swig of his gatorade and then LITERALLY turned his back on me without a word. My family proceeded to thank him for his time and he didn't acknowledge any of them either. At this point I was furious. No matter how you feel you should never treat people this way. I immediately went over to Mike by the big boat and had a talk with him. Barely did I get my story out when Mike said he completely remembered our phone call and he had told the "boat guide" that our rate was $20 flat. So the boatman LITERALLY LIED TO US and then made us feel terrible and uncomfortable the entire ride with the grand finale of completely ignoring us at the end when I was only 1 foot in front of him. Mike was super nice and asked if I wanted my $20 back. I declined but I want to report this because the gentleman under his payroll was absolutely terrible and needs to be removed. He is most likely trying to scam all of us unsuspecting guests. If I hadn't talked to Mike I wouldn't have found out the truth. This ride would have been an amazing experience if it hadn't had been for the boatman. The view of the city and the fountain are breathtaking. I highly recommend doing a tour at sunset.

Pricing is reasonable, and there ended up being additional people on our ride, which lowered our cost considerably. Definitely something to check out if you've never done it before!

Wow what a great time!! My group took our first boat tour with River Life and had nothing but fun!…read more So relaxing to fly down the river and Kyle is such a great guide! He would stop to point out Eagles and their huge nests. He even schooled us on how to identify the ages of eagles and whether they are male or female. Stopping on a sandbar to dip your toes in the river was nice too! His landing has picnic tables that I believe you can rent for get togethers, and and a handy porta potty! It's a bit of a drive from Omaha to Cedar Bluffs but a fun and scenic drive once you hit the country fields! Really only about an hour drive. Can't say enough about this company! What I can say is I will be back and hopefully very soon!!! Thanks Kyle!!

This 104 acre park is located just south of Lewis, IA on…read moreLewis Rd. As you enter the park, the lake area, boat ramp/dock, swimming area and picnic area are to the right. There are camping spaces in another area. 26 camping spaces are electric for $15 per night and 20 are primitive for $10 per night. We toured the open areas in the car on our way back to Omaha from visiting Lewis and the Hitchcock House. It's a small county park with lots of potential for a family outing. Most of it was closed for the season when we were there. The small lake looks like a perfect fishing spot. There's .75 mile trail to the scenic rock cuts of the Nishnabotna River for a short hike. It was a surprise find for us and we're looking forward to going there again when it warms up in the spring.
