- Cosmopolitan5911712 contributionsThis was such a fun and unique experience! The biking portion of the tour was enjoyable and easy, perfect for any skill level. We rode through a little bit of town and then shifted onto a scenic trail.
The kayaking portion, though brief, was still a lot of fun and a great way to switch things up. It added a touch of adventure between brewery stops. The brews were the highlight, with a great variety to sample, and each spot had a fantastic atmosphere.
Our guide was incredibly friendly and really made the experience even better. He joined us at each stop, chatted with us, and made sure we knew how long we had to enjoy each location without feeling rushed.
Overall, it was a well-rounded, laid-back tour, perfect for anyone who enjoys biking, kayaking, and trying new brews. Highly recommended!Written September 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fortunately, the tubing was still open due to man made snow and our kids (ages 9 and 6) didn’t want to leave.
Reasonably priced at $15/person for one hour, which was plenty. Two parallel tubing hills that had a quite large drop off at the top. Towline to the top was efficient and staff at top of sled hill (two runs) was friendly and helpful.
Since there was no skiing, had no problems with parking and the lodge was not crowded. Not sure how crazy it would be if you could ski. Make reservations for tubing. It was sold out the Saturday we were here. Ski area is about a 15 minute drive east of downtown Traverse City.Written January 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura-bella24Saline, MI17 contributionsThe crew on the boat was great. My husband, daughter, and nephew were the ones going parasailing. There were 2 extra spots on the boat for "non-flyers" to ride for a "nominal fee". There is NO nominal fee.... they wanted $30 each for my brother and I to get on the boat just to watch. $60 is not a nominal fee, so that was misleading. We didn't get on the boat. Money hungry?
And we paid the $30 for photos. Very SADLY, when the guy popped the SD card out of the camera to hand to my nephew, it flew right into the water. All gone!!!! No photos! You can't make this stuff up. That was incredibly disappointing!! So from the high of just parasailing for the first time, to the low that you now have NO photos to show.
Overall, they enjoyed the parasailing. The crew was impressive with their skills and safety. And my hubby tipped them, even tho they were disappointed with not having photos.Written September 3, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
