4 Hour – Lower Fox River - 2:00 PM on August 22, 2026 • 6 adultsCaptain and staff are actively engaged in making sure the crew had an amazing experience. From explaining everything, so we learned a few things, to making sure the entire trip from start to finish was a blast, they were just a pleasure to deal with. Safety was priority so the preteens were well attended to. Overall just a great day and a great value.
