We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour trip on the Riverboat and seeing the unusual rock formations of the sandstone cliffs. We were surprised to learn the Wisconsin river freezes on occasion, however our guide told us 'he only drives his truck on it when the ice is 18 inches thick'. For us Aussies, this is unbelievable - something unheard of... More

We went on the Upper Dells tour, which is 2 hours long. It is a lot longer than the Ducks tour and the price was almost the same as the Ducks tour is. It was a nice, peaceful tour. I liked that we can get out of the boat and walk around on shore of places. I liked it alot. More

It was just as great as I remember as a kid. My 5 year old son even got to "drive" the boat! We had a great guide and the kids were thrilled (ages 3 and 5). We did the Lower Dells tour. Highly recommended! More

We had a wonderfu time with The Dells boat ride. Beautiful. Similiar to Thousand Islands boat tour. We had a wonderful crew, that expalined all in detail. We had a couple stops to get off the boat to look around. I would go back and do again someday. The ride was very relaxing. More

We had considered a Dell boat ride while in Wisconsin. After talking with several people we felt the Upper Dell boat ride would be best since it uses a cruise type boat with two decks. The Lower Dells uses the Duck boats which are exciting but a little noisy. It seems to be more suited for families with children. Our... More

We have been going on the boat tour since I was knee-high to grass-hopper and that was 50 years ago. We have taken our kids on it over the years and now the grandkids and after all these years, it never disappoints. If you do one thing in the Dells, make it this. More

We have done the Upper Dells Boat Tour and The Lower Dells Boat Tour. Both are good - but the Upper Dells Tour is by far amazing! The scenery and stops are awesome. If you do anything in the Dells - do this! Great after all these years! More

We actually haven't been there for a few years (not sure why the pull down menu doesn't have more options). We have been to the Dells a couple of times and always love doing the boat tour. This is longer than the Ducks and you can walk and enjoy nature too. The rock formations are beautiful and when we were... More

I have been on the boat tours several times. If you don't do anything else while visiting the Wisconsin Dells area this in my opinion is what you should see. Its what made the Dells famous. Every time I go on the boats its still beautiful to me and I use to work there about 25 years ago. More

This was a really nice experience. Got to hear all about the history of the area while cruising along. The stop at Witches' Gulch was fantastic...I think I enjoyed this even more than the cruise itself. Was a great time although very chilly when we went. Would probably be a better experience to take this cruise in warmer weather. More
