We did the 1 hour cruise on the Horicon last week while on our vacation in Lake George. It's a…read moregreat way to take in all the scenic views of the lake, and get a little history lesson to boot. We also enjoyed a few cocktails from the bar. The cruise is dog friendly too, that was important for us, because our mini-poodle wanted to go. Reading many negative reviews concerning the crew, but we thought they were friendly & very professional. The Captain is proud native of the area. We'd recommend this shoreline cruise to any First Timers to Lake George. But basically, it's the kind of activity you do once, One & Done.

What a disappointing experience to start off 2024!…read more Overpriced and underdelivered! Terrible value for the cost. The food was poor and ran out early on. The first deck was overcrowded making exit in case of an emergency nearly impossible and producing a disaster. The first deck was very cold despite being advertised as heated. Only the crowd did anything to warm up the room. The price of $50 per person was overly expensive and we were unaware, until boarding, that it included food and entertainment at the restaurant on land. We were not interested and would have preferred a two-tier price structure. Also, the window flaps were filthy and we could barfely see outside. I will not book with you again.

A Great Family Bucket List Event!…read moreWouldn't have thought of doing this, but any visit to southern end of Lake George makes the parasails hard to miss. Figured, why not; glad we did) SCHEDULING: 4 We visited Lake George on Tuesday & decided to parasail on Wednesday. Drove back (an hour) to see nobody PS'ing on the lake. "Closed". Cued to go online to book, which in turn 'call to schedule'. Done. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5 Kiosks process was smooth with obligatory liability waiver, suiting up with life jacket and harness. Crew was friendly while efficient getting us situated on boat - with a final point that there is a very small possibility "you'll get wet"....so plan accordingly. Adding, "We have waterproof phone sleeves with lanyards should you wish to take those up with you for pics." (Note: competitor company advises that use of one's personal electronics is a safety hazard and banned from use on their boats - they offered a $30 photo service shot from the boat) The RIDE: Customers wait their turn to go up, turns out party of three will always to slotted to go up together to save time (max weight 500lbs). Solo flights could only happen if one is over 200 lbs. Tandems are fun with parent and kid combos. You're harnessed onto the parasail and are supporting rope is winched out hundreds of feet, pulled by along by boat. Higher than I expected. Duration is approximately 10 minutes which I didn't time - but seemed plenty enough. Crew offered a water touchdown which amounts to be let down into the lake for a momentary wetting.....and lifted back up before final boat landing. (We asked for feet only which was plenty wet for our purposes) NEXT TIME: My kids & I would definitely use Joe's service again on our next trip up to Lake George- Best value of the two vendor (personal photo op from height). What would I do different? Take wide angle selfie video of flight & ask for a deeper water touchdown mid flight. *BONUS: - Now for a 10 year old's perspective... Parasail joes was awesome. It was thrilling ,scary ,fun all that stuff .It was pretty cool and it was my first time parasailing and it was pretty cool there might be a better place so I can't completely say five star but it's good for a first time and I might change my opinion later sooooooo yeah.

Parasail Nation gives you a go pro to take up and film you can view a preview and if you like it purchase it as well, which we did!! We will certainly be using them again when we go back next year!!

What's more is, I was "that lady" who brought a waterproof phone protector with a neck strap to take pictures with my family and friends. I was also "that lady" who took the neck strap off to avoid tan lines...needless to say, my phone went into the Hudson River without me realizing it! Ethan and his crew were so kind during my personal meltdown, mostly due to me kicking myself for being so careless. They had a group of 80 after us, but assured me they would all look out for it as they had an idea where I dropped it. We called every half hour in the hopes one of the other crews may have discovered the phone, and at 4:50, my husband's phone rang with the amazing news that the phone was found safely! All 3 of our guides looked and I cannot express how grateful I am to them all!! Personal tragedy aside, our entire group said the lazy river was the best part of our trip, and we have already recommended AAC to friends who are traveling to Lake George in the coming weeks! If you're looking for a fun and relaxing way to spend a morning or afternoon, this is a definite must to check for your list!

Lake George is a gorgeous lake and has so much to explore. Dunham's Bay was a convenient location to start our lake journey. Parking was very convenient. Captain Gary is located in the brown boat house next to the parking area. The building has "18" on the front of it.

Captain Jack tailored the experience to each of my children's "bravery levels" - so he drove the boat at a slower pace when my daughter went on the tube.

We had the BEST time - Captain Jack knows where to go, you you're able to maximize your time on the lake knowing you'll be taken care of the entire time. 10/10 recommend!!!!

He started off by taking us out and just cruising along, giving us some facts about the lake and surrounding area. He was so accommodating to our needs and where what wanted to go/what we wanted to do. After some cruising, we went tubing which was so thrilling!! It was awesome! He showed us some local spots to swim and cliff jump where we hung out. Captain Jack is so pleasant to talk to and is so personable. We had a crew mate who got a bit seasick and he knew exactly how to handle the situation to get her back to where she needed to be. He is a true professional. If you're looking for something different to do in Lake George, this is the place to be! One of my favorite days of 2023 so far. Thank you Captain Jack and Boat Tours @ BLR!
