3 months agoMy best friend & I rented a Swan Boat tonight & it was so much fun. We made a reservation for 5pm, and made it around the lagoon by 5:45pm, stopping for breaks. Be careful; you’re going to get a good leg workout in & our boat had a mind of its own at times when trying to steer. Such a relaxing activity & perfect for a romantic date idea 🦢❤️

a month agoIt was a great experience. The check in was fast and easy . The price is worth the experience for a hour. I definitely enjoyed and recommend the night time version. I loved the LED lights on the swan boats as well as the space available on board. I appreciated being able to bring food and my blanket
