Nice adventure

Augustine_A, Aug 2026
Went with friends. The staff were decent. The swan boat had some lagoon water in it but was clean. It’s a labor-intensive ride so be prepared to work those legs because you’re pedaling for everyone in your party. It’s great to experience once.

Broken Swan Boat

Renee_H, Aug 2026
The boat we rented did not function properly. We had to contact the booth several times requesting assistance and they told us to keep trying. Once we got the boat into open area it stopped working and would not go the direction we were trying to go. After such frustration and could not get back my daughter and I exited the boat and they had to come a retried the boat. That was something that I’ve always wanted to do and it was a complete disaster. We asked to change boats but the said keep trying. Request a refund please.

Excellent. At night with the lights was very beautiful. I would definitely do this experience again when I’m back in town

Sweet and Short Ride

Martha_L, Jun 2026
Customer service: 4 out 10 but Julius was friendly and was able to start off on a good start. Swan Boat: 2 out of 10 not recommended for tall or long legs; seated low; we still tried it out. Overall, easy to book and enjoyed ourselves making the best of the experience even though we had to shorten our ride.

Brianna_V, May 2026

You sold us Invalid Tickets!

MarioValentino_V, Apr 2026
We DID NOT get to avail of the Swan Boat rental we purchased from you. The tickets you sold were not honored for that day (April 18, 2026). According to the operators. They posted a LARGE BANNER on their website informing everyone that; For that day, there will be an event (A race) and anyone intending on going to the Swan boats MUST PURCHASE THE EVENT's TICKETS in order to access the event and get to their location. YET, your site did not have this information, and proceeded to sell tickets to unknowing customers. I am demanding a refund!

They should know that it's a great way to get a little bit of exercise in while taking in the beautiful scenery.

David_V, Apr 2026
The boats aren’t very well maintained they were dirty and not cleaned apparently before hand. Wish I took pictures we paid for an hour and left after 15 mins

Staff needs training.

Cheryl_P, Apr 2026
Your staff lost my ID because Sam told me I would have to leave my ID card for waiver during the ride but I forgot to pick it up and next day when I went back, no one knew where my ID was?

Fun on the sun!!!

Desiree_M, Mar 2026

It was okay. The boats...

Terrah_V, Mar 2026
It was okay. The boats are definitely harder to do than expected. We were given 1 hour but only took us 25 mins to go around the pond. For the price it’s ok.

Peaceful

A beautiful and relaxing experience! The staff was super friendly! My husband and I went for our anniversary. A Perfect Romance spot.

Experience was good and...

Jonathan_R, Feb 2026
Experience was good and the pond was actually spacious. The only reason im not giving a 5 star is because our boat lights went out 20 minutes into our ride /:

Very beautiful, coming...

Angel_M, Feb 2026
Very beautiful, coming right before the sunset makes it a better experience! Being able to see wildlife was a plus for us too !!

We were a family of nine people, children , and adults , and we all had a blast. We did the ride at night and it was beautiful with the lights and the backdrop of Shoreline Village.

Very nice environment....

David_C, Nov 2025
Very nice environment. Friendly workers. No hassle. Simple to book online. Very romantic especially at night.

Our swan ride experience was great

Pau_S, Oct 2025
Fun and a good workout for the legs- Took a sec to adapt to the response of the controls but an awesome experience.

Fun activity but...

DAYNA_R, Oct 2025
Fun activity but disappointed with rude employee. I booked 3 boats for a 6 pm reservation (knowing that sunset would be about 6:20) and we wanted to ride with the lights. After riding for a bit, we asked an employee if the lights would be turned on soon & she rudely said it was only offered to bookings after 6:30pm. I explained this was the only reason we booked the boats was for the lights experience and she rudely said, “it says on the site when you’re booking.” This is false as no where on the booking did it indicate this. In fact, it says, “you can even go for an atmospheric evening ride with LED lights on your boat.” If this is in fact the rule, then it needs to be stated clearly at time of booking because I could have easily booked for after 6:30pm. Very frustrated that this was not my fault and for the rude response from the employee.

Spinning Fun

Tosha_M, Sep 2025
It was fun, but could not get the steering right to make the boat stop spinning in a circle. Wish there was more tutorial on what to do if you are stuck. Overall I had a good time.

Had fun

Glen_M, Aug 2025
Went with my family. Had a great time. Easy to board and paddle. Saw fishes. Worker are friendly and helpful.

Bad customer service

Maria_R, Aug 2025
I called to move the time of my reservation and never received an email or a call. And I was not able to cancel the reservation because it was not within 24 hours.

Amazing and Romantic Memories

Patricia_R, Jul 2025
Our daughter bought us the tickets and reserved the ride for us. We were so excited about it this is an amazing experience we really love it and enjoyed it. Very romantic and my husband was very impressed and wants us to come again. We did great for our first time. We really recommend it.

Awesome experience

Jose_R, Jun 2025
It was great, we were served as soon as we get there, very relaxing, nice views. It was just awesome.

David_R, Jun 2025
Check the weather make sure it's not windy. It makes it hard to peddle. Over all not bad for a chill date with the wife.

Ehh

Breseis_V, Jun 2025
It was a fun experience however the service wasn't the best and prohibited items are checked so other swan paddlers were smoking making the lake smell of Marijuana.
