    UPDATE: I changed my review from 2 to 5 stars in light of the friendly response and excellent…read morecustomer service I received in the wake [pardon the pun] of our trip. And I'll add that with a new, non-cell-phone-based return policy in place, we are likely to return. Thank you! First, let me say clearly that the actual kayaking part of this experience was really nice. A little pricey, but that's mainly because we're a big family: my wife and I and six of our kids, ages 8-21, rented four kayaks for the one-hour (two-mile) "Camp Hi to SR 82 Two-Mile Trip." This cost $245.21. But it really was a very nice experience. What wasn't so great was the experience getting back. The way the short trip works is that you paddle downstream for two miles and then get out of the river. You're supposed to call Camp Hi soon before you get there, and they send a bus to pick you up and bring you back. "Do you have Verizon?" they asked me as we were first getting into the water, "You may not be able to get a signal. You may have to walk up the path a bit to call." Well, we do have Verizon. And we could not get a signal from the river. So we got to the disembarking point and pulled the kayaks out. This was at 3:00 on the nose. Then, I walked. And walked some more, all the way up the trail to Route 82, which I had to walk along for another quarter mile in order to get a signal. This was a bit unnerving, as the speed limit is 55 mph and for part of the walk there's only about two feet of space between the lane and the side of a bridge. I finally got a signal and called Camp Hi at 3:10 to request a ride. They said they'd send a driver. I walked back to where my family was waiting. And we waited. Around 3:20, someone pulled into the parking area to unload some kayaks. Around 3:30, I asked if I could use their phone, as we were still waiting for our ride. I called Camp Hi and they said they'd try to get a driver down to us. Finally, at 3.41, the driver arrived to pick us up. We made it back to Camp Hi at 3:48. To her credit, the young woman at the counter was polite and mildly apologetic. "Look," I said, "can I get any sort of a refund or anything? It took more than forty minutes for us to get back. That was a long wait with my eight-year-old." "I could only give a small refund," she replied, "two to three dollars." Seriously, that's what she said. "Two to three dollars." I declined. Politely, I think. So, that was my experience. $245 for one very nice hour on the water and 40+ minutes of waiting for a ride. Given that the people at Camp Hi--and let me say again, clearly, that everyone we interacted with was quite nice--definitely *know* that there's an issue with cell phone service, it's hard to understand why they don't simply send a bus to pick people up right at the one-hour mark. That would be far simpler and would have left us feeling much happier about the whole thing. Will I be back? Probably not.

    I've been with a group renting one of the boats from Great Lakes a couple of times now, and it's a…read morepretty fun experience. Full disclosure, I haven't been the captain or the one to make the reservation, so I can't speak to those parts of the experience. There's some public parking near the dock, and you go up to the little shack to sign your waiver. There isn't a bathroom at this dock, but you can walk down to where the big boats for the music cruise dock and there's a small restroom over there. Once your whole group is signed in, the boats are at a floating dock, and you can just hop on and go. We've done both the pontoon boat and the speed boat. The speed boat was definitely more fun, because it goes faster, but the pontoon is a little more roomy for a slow cruise, your choice. You can bring snacks and drinks along for the ride. There are usually a handful of staff launching boats and getting people loaded. They're friendly and fun. One slight drawback to the 2 hour cruise is that you are on the inside of the railway bridge, so if it's down, you're stuck on the river and have to wait for it to go back up, and sometimes it's a pretty narrow window. If you're on the lake side of the bridge, you risk getting stuck outside and running over your time. I believe the Captain has to do a little safety course prior to the activity, but otherwise, it's pretty easy! Definitely a fun activity, and a way to get yourself a boat day if you don't have an invitation.

    10/10 recommend boating with GLWS! I've also been kayaking a dozen times. The staff is always super…read morefriendly and helpful Best summer outing!
