The captain and crew were welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the experience both relaxing and enjoyable. The boat was comfortable, the scenery was beautiful, and watching the sun set over Lake Dora was absolutely breathtaking. We loved learning a little about the area while simply sitting back and taking it all in. If you're visiting Mount Dora or celebrating a special occasion, I highly recommend adding this cruise to your itinerary. It's peaceful, beautiful, and a perfect way to end the day. We made wonderful memories and would absolutely do it again!

Premier Boats tours will give you a clean boat, even with a bathroom. You will learn about a few homes and take the majestic journey through the Dora Canal, seeing so much wildlife.

If you are lucky you will get Donna as your narrator! A must do and a great value!

This year was our 1st time experiencing the Polar Express. I must say I was really impressed. If…read moreyou've seen the movie you're going to love this experience. The actors were great and so were the employees. The actors were interacting with all the children which puts such great smiles on their faces. They give you hot chocolate and a sugar cookie which I must say it's pretty tasty. So here is the rundown. When you get there you must check in to the building where they give you your golden ticket. Once you check in you grab a seat wherever your assigned seat is on the train. There is a brief play of the beginning of the movie. Then you board the train and the fun begins. I highly recommend this. Me and my wife don't have kids and I should've expected that this was more of a kids thing. However we both enjoyed it thoroughly. The polar express is one of my favorite Christmas movies and these guys really brought it to life.

He was very good at spotting the gators and other critters along the river. He had a nice commentary and useful information about the history of the area. The airboat was very loud so it was quite difficult to hear everything he said. Our guide even gae us a nice run on the river with a bit of a splash/spray as he made the turn! Definitely saw lots of gators this trip. After the trip, you are invited to visit the main shop which was also the check in area for an opportunity to hold a real life baby gator! The gator was rather soft on the belly side. Was a fun trip. The day was not too hot so it was very enjoyable.
