The boat was clean and everything worked great on it. We enjoyed our outing. I also rented a ski boat for my kids and I. We had a great time out on the water. I highly recommend renting a boat or even jet ski for a fun time.

We spent the day at Lake Bartlett Marina with some friends who are considering signing up for a…read moremonthly membership. They've been on the waiting list and wanted to check out the fleet of boats included with the membership and get out on the water, and we were happy to tag along! We ended up on a pontoon with a full shade cover, which was a huge plus. Since it was a super hot August day and we were out during full sun, having complete shade made a big difference compared to a half-shade boat. We were also given a tube, which the kids were VERY excited about! We did have to wait a while before getting on the boat even with our 1pm reservation, but our friends were going through all of the membership information and learning how everything works. It just took a while to get that started. While we waited, the kids had fun feeding the fish the fish food, and of course we ended up grabbing a few snacks from the shop. One area that could use some improvement is the parking and signage. It was a little confusing figuring out where to go. We initially turned off in the wrong area, had to drive back up, and then continued on to find the guest parking and rental area. The walk down to the marina wasn't marked particularly well either, although we eventually figured it out. Once we were out on the water, though, it was beautiful! The lake and surrounding mountains are gorgeous, and it was such a fun way to spend a Sunday. One thing that took us a little while to get used to was that the lake traffic goes counterclockwise--it felt a little strange at first, but we got the hang of it! It did seem like they may have been a little understaffed while we were there. There were member boats coming back in, families waiting to head out, and other people picking up and returning rental boats, while we only saw one person working behind the counter and another who was busy getting boats ready. It may have just been the staffing for that particular Sunday, so I can't say if that's typical. Overall, we had a great day on the water! The kids had a blast, the boat was comfortable, and the scenery was beautiful. I think our friends may be signing up for the membership, so it definitely seems like they got a good feel for what Lake Bartlett Marina has to offer. We'd definitely go back for another day on the lake!

I've been here twice and found the staff knowledgeable and friendly. Marc seems like a helpful guy, for example. There's a "sale room" with decent discounts and bunches and bunches of flies for sale in the center near the back. I did not experience any high-pressure sales or condescension that you can see in some shops. Located near the interstate with a moderate amount of tight parking spaces. I emailed a question to them twice without response, so I'd recommend giving them a call if you want to reach out. They may not check email. One can sign up and pay for in-store instruction classes online. If you're looking for a local fly shop, I'd recommend you stop by and see if it works for you. In my two visits, I came away pretty happy.

This trip broker, Advantage Grand Canyon Adventure Rafting Trips & Tours, suggested going with the 8 day, motorized trip with Wilderness River Adventures. They got great reviews from all sides so we picked them based on the suggestion from Andy at Advantage Grand Canyon Adventure Rafting Trips & Tours. These trips AIN'T CHEAP, so we had a LOT of questions & even a few phone calls. Andy was SUPER HELPFUL through the entire process. Very quick responses to all of our questions. This trip had been on our bucket list for a very LONG TIME. We were starting to plan this trip right before COVID hit, but alas, we all know how THAT worked out! We are getting to the age where a trip like this can be a little difficult for older folks if you are NOT in decent shape. We are in decent shape but it was still a LOT OF WORK. You really need to be on the ball with camp setup & tear down & packing your gear.....for EIGHT DAYS/NIGHTS. It was a LOT. But we held steady & the SCENERY down there at the bottom of the world famous, Grand Canyon was worth all the work. Don't get me wrong, the GUIDES were INCREDIBLE! It's RARE, these days to watch people WORK SO HARD! They were constantly working to prepare our DELICIOUS meals, guide our rafts through daily rapids & keep us entertained at night. Not possible say too many great things about the guides. Just amazing. We are SUPER HAPPY we did the 8 days. I just don't think the hike IN or OUT of the canyon would've been something we'd find remotely 'pleasant'. There were only 4 of us that stayed the full 8 days from the put in point at Lee's Ferry. Half way through the trip, we offloaded half our group that would hike up to the South Rim & we would wait a bit for a new group that was hiking down from the South Rim to join us for the final 4 days. The people hiking down looked DEAD TIRED! We are happy we did NOT experience that. If you are YOUNG, it's probably not as big a deal. But mid 60s, naw. We do HIGHLY SUGGEST every person buy the TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE. We started this year out with some very 'challenging' medical issues. They were, most fortunately, RESOLVED but my husband's issues went down to the WIRE. Weren't sure right up until the day we left IF we would be able to make the trip. But it worked out absolutely GREAT & we didn't need to file a CLAIM for the insurance...but it was there if we needed it. Again, NOT a CHEAP trip & would be not pleasant to LOSE all that money! Everything about this company is like a very well oiled machine. SO HAPPY we got to check this off our bucket list & it was truly SPECTACULAR. A true, once in a lifetime adventure for us. We are grateful we found Advantage GCARTT online & chose to use their services to pick this trip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Advantage booked us on our 6 day/5 night motorized raft trip through the Grand Canyon with Wilderness River Adventures and it was amazing from start to finish. The absolute most fun we've ever had doing anything. My husband and I are active seniors, 69 and 67 respectively and we loved every minute. Advantage and Wilderness coordinated our trip with pre-trip packing list, complete and thorough directions about where and when to meet our connecting transportation to Page, AZ, booked our first night's lodging and got us to the river in a comfortable coach with a super friendly driver. Our river guides were amazing - can't say enough good things about them and how well they took care of us and managed every day of the trip from wonderful cowboy coffee and delicious breakfasts to start our day, thrilling rides through the canyon with stops for hikes and lunches and selection of beautiful camp sites each evening with gourmet meals that were over the top!! We would do this all again in a heartbeat and stay longer next time!! Thanks Advantage for a life changing experience!

We were really hoping DBat would be a great way to help our son get into baseball, but after a few…read morevisits and a camp day, we're officially done. From day one, it was clear that support for beginners just isn't there. We asked multiple times for help using the batting cages since we're not baseball savvy, and each time were met with the same answer: "It's easy" or "Just put him in and figure it out." No explanation, no guidance, just major attitude. I felt like an inconvenience, not even a customer! We signed our son up for a summer camp hoping it would be a better, more structured experience. Unfortunately, it was just more of the same. At drop-off, staff couldn't find his name on the list and didn't have any formal check-in process. When we offered to walk him back (his first day!), we were told to just send him alone to "find the group." Once we found the group, it was hard to tell who was even in charge since there was no clear staff IDs or supervision. At pickup, we saw kids swinging bats way too close to each other with no one actively managing what was going on. Our son wanted to try the cages again, so we asked for help, this time from a front desk associate (white guy with a curled mustache), and we were once again met with a cold attitude. When we asked about private lessons that we'd be willing to pay for, his only response was "whatever" with no effort to explain how to sign up or get more info. What sealed it for us was the lack of any real safety measures. No one checked who was picking up kids. No sign-in or sign-out, no ID check ....nothing. That's a huge red flag for any parent. Our son wanted to love this place, and we really tried to give it a chance. But the lack of guidance, professionalism, and basic safety makes this a hard no for us. *** Update *** After raising these concerns, I received a call from the manager who firmly disagreed with my feedback. They insisted safety wasn't an issue because they do a safety brief with the kids and that staff did their best despite "doing a thousand other things." They also clarified that DBAT, like other batting cages, doesn't have someone available to help users, something that directly contradicts the impression given on their site and materials, given they list that there are instructors. Again if an instructor needs to be scheduled, the guidance and help of knowing who and what to book on the website would be the first step in providing a reasonable level of customer service. When I asked for a refund for the upcoming unused camp day, they declined and stood by their approach. I let them know the call was unproductive and that we were clearly in complete disagreement. At this point, we will not be returning. If you're new to baseball and looking for guidance or a welcoming environment for your child, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere.

To say he is friendly is an understatement. Fantastic guy with kindness and a lot of character! We joined the paddle group because we are beginners, and he welcomed us with open arms.

Some tips: cash only and each boat rental requires its own cash deposit! Also, expect to want to spring for a kayak in the $45 price range. The $35 are minis and not for beginners. Also, opt for high tops with soles and ankle protection over water shoes or flip flops. DO ask about rent the wheels for transporting the kayaks to/from the water. Plan to get wet and to get some sun!

I will start by saying that we stumbled upon Hailey's while looking for a facility to take couple's…read morelessons in Western riding. Since they confirmed this was an option, we went ahead and booked a meet and greet to check it out and get the tour, which I thought was a great thing to offer prospective clients. First impressions, the facility was clean, well kept, well stocked, organized and all the horses we saw were healthy, happy and well mannered. These folks clearly care about the animals and have deep bonds with them, something which was evident not only in the animals and their surroundings but also how the staff interacted with them. Everyone we met was respectful and friendly, both to each other and to us, so that was nice to see. While on the topic of first impressions, there are a few things that could have been better and which, in concert, stopped us from returning after the tour. For one thing, we never actually got to meet Hailey, due to some kind of scheduling goof at her end. No disrespect to James, he did a fantastic job in her place, but it was very awkward to show up expecting Hailey and having no clue what was going on until James stumbled upon us, figured out we were Hailey's prospects and introduced himself. It may not be a big deal to some folks, but this is one of my pet peeves. If I'm looking to spend THOUSANDS with your barn and you can't be bothered to even be present for the meet and greet, then intentionally or not, you convey to me that I'm not worth your time. This goes doubly when your absence is a total surprise. If I'm not worth your time, not even an email or text to let me know James is filling in, what does that tell me as a client? Call that the first strike and the first dropped star. Another thing which was compounded by Hailey's absence was that we didn't really get a sense for whether couple's Western lessons were really a thing at this barn or not. I saw virtually no Western tack and there was lots of commentary from James that what they mean by "couple's lesson" is that you will pay for two trainers to work with you simultaneously, in separate parts of the facility. To me this is NOT a couple's lesson, it's just two people taking lessons apart from each other at 2x full price. Additionally, we couldn't get clear answers on taking specifically Western lessons. I was told that whether we would ride/learn Western or English would depend first on the tack that was best for the horse and that we'd use a mix of English and Western tack depending on what we were learning that day. I also was told that James is primarily a Western trainer while Hailey's background is English. I had a hard time understanding how we'd be doing couple's Western lessons if there's one Western trainer and one English trainer and sometimes one of us would be learning English riding in an English saddle with an English trainer. Again, that is NOT a couple's Western lesson, it sounds like two people taking lessons in different disciplines, apart from each other at 2x full price. Call this the second strike and second dropped star. After the tour and subsequent follow-up emails, we reluctantly decided to look elsewhere for our lessons. To be clear, it was never about the money, it was about spending time and learning together as a couple. It just didn't seem like that was an option here. When a barn has a fundamental misunderstanding of what clients are looking for in a "couple's lesson", they probably shouldn't offer them in the first place. Anyone that spends any amount of time working with horses will quickly learn that behavior is a language. Unfortunately, as seems to be the case here, some trainers don't appreciate that their own behavior is a language, let alone what it's saying to their clients. I have said before and will repeat it here: riding instruction is a people business, NOT a horse business. You will be more successful and attract more customers if you act like you understand the difference. Bottom line: I think this might be a good place for individuals looking for English or maybe inter-disciplinary/mixed riding lessons, but if you're looking for couple's lessons, or specifically Western instruction, neither seems to be offered here and you'd be better served elsewhere.
