    Nice guided tour of lake Dora and the Dora canal. We had captain Ron who was raised in Mt Dora. 99.9% of the information was accurate, or so he says. Great for someone who hasn't seen the beautiful lake and canal.

    Great trip on the lake

    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

    What a fantastic time we had! We did the sunset cat boat tour and we had a blast! There were 4 of us and each boat holds two people. At first you stay with the group and follow the tour guide but then he gives you some time just to zip around the lake and have fun! Then you all gather together to watch the beautiful sunset. We had so much fun doing this! I highly recommend this tour!!

    Great adventure ride with beautiful views and fun facts about Mount Dora. Great for a date night to enjoy the scenery and have some fun .

    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.

    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)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mount Dora Canal
    Israel U.

    Fun tour of the Mount Dora canal and super fun Craig Cat boats. The 2 hour tour is plenty of time to have fun on the lake and explore the canals. Guided tour with greats sites. Ask for Captain Tod!

    Lake Dora Canal
    Jeanne B.

    Bob was a fabulous tour guide. The boats are a lot of fun. He took us through the Lake Dora canal which is absolutely beautiful. He gave us free time to enjoy the boats. I highly recommend this two hour tour!

    Warning : you should not use this company. I callled and…read morelet them know that I would be arriving in Florida for four days and asked would this be adequate time to complete the five hours of flight training. I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.
