This boat trip is conveniently located. You get off the Thruway (Interstate 90) at Exit 30, go straight at the light, and you're there. The boat is one of the nicest public cruise boats I've seen in a long time. New, clean, and comfortable. I wish I gotten there earlier to get one of the seats in the open bow... more

We've taken this tour twice and have really enjoyed it. Captain Jerry is very knowledgable of the area and it's history! There wasn't a question he couldn't answer! My four year old son loved it and he was even able to take a turn driving the boat! What an execellent attraction to have in the Valley! I highly recommend this... more

I respect it when someone has taken the effort to learn facts and knows how to convey them in a fun way. We were on our way home to Texas when we saw the brochure in the... more

We knew that the Erie Canal flowed through the area and were searching for the perfect way to experience it - BOY DID WE FIND IT! The Erie Canal Cruises... more

Took the cruise with our 7 year old nephew, He is autistic and we weren't sure how much patience he would have. The 90 minute cruise was very informative and kept us all very interested in the history of the canal. He was able to steer the boat along with several other young people that were on board.
