This is a must do if you like boats and don't mind getting wet. We did this on the hottest day of our stay there and it was great. It was a heck of a ride and a lot of fun. They do twists and turns and stops and you will definately get wet. I would recommend leaving your cell... More

This trip Was excellent but just be prepared to get wet! In addition to a fun boat ride, the scenery and tour was stunning. Ok for smaller kids but can get a little cold after you get sprayed with water. More

We visited this attraction during the 2nd week of August. We had 3 adults and 3 children under the age of 10 with us. Dana at the reservation office is very helpful and polite. You pay "up top", then drive down the lane and park. There is a ramp all the way down to the river, so it is wheelchair... More

This is a must do if you go to the Dells! Prepare to get wet and enjoy the ride. The little ones will get a thrill from riding this boat. Take the whole family for added fun! The $20 scenic photo package, with Lake Delton in the backdrop, will make a great addition to your travel album. More

We had rode the Ducks before but now that my girls are older we decided to try the jet boats.There are several to choose from-we chose Ron,s because it was on our discount card and offered a longer trip(90m vs 50m).You have to drive a few miles outside of town but it was worth it! We were fortunate to have... More

We normally do the Ducks while we're in Wisconsin Dells but I read great reviews about Captain Ron's Jet Boats so we decided to give it a try...I'm glad we did!! Our captain Craig was funny and had us entertained the whole time. He also provided a lot of history about the Dells which was very interesting. Our boat had... More

We went with our 4 kids ages 1,5,7,and 9---they all loved it and so did we! Our driver was Craig and he was great! Took photos of everyone and was very friendly and a great driver!! You will get wet so if you don't like that then definitely don't go on this ride! There is just enough slow and fast--we... More

My brother, his wife, and I decided to try Captain Ron's because my brother had seen a commercial for it on TV. We had never been on a jet boat before so we weren't sure what to expect. This tour FAR exceeded our expectations! Captain Ron made the trip so memorable and so much fun! I don't think we EVER... More

After getting a good dose of waterpark goodness in, we decided to do something else as a change of pace. After looking for information about various boat rides, we decided to try Captain Ron's. We did find a discount on one of the discount cards we received from our hotel, good for certain times of the day. We hit the... More
