Reelfoot Lake Pontoon Boat Cruise, Tennessee, United States
4.5 (20 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Tiptonville Boat Tours
Really fun, informative, but no bathroom
This was so much fun and relaxing i enjoyed our guide and lots of interesting points I had no idea about. I would definitely do this cruise, but if you do the 2 he cruise it will probably turn into 2-1/2 hrs which was great. The only thing is there is no bathroom break along the way so beware of that. Another thing is that the pontoon is covered but you might want to get some sun block to be safe. Another thing was that towards the end the bugs seemed to start biting so bug spray might be good to. This is great for a family. You will see birds and other animals which children i believe will love. Please go and enjoy your time, but if you bathroom issues might want to ask.

Lot's of fun...just make sure the other tourists have life in them!
The Reelfoot Visitor Center offer's two lengths of pontoon cruises. There are morning and sunset cruises that are 3 hours long, and two afternoon cruises that are 1.5 hours each. We chose one of the afternoon cruises. It has been hot this summer, but there was actually a decent breeze blowing. Faith, our tour guide was funny, and absolutely full of knowledge about the lake. This was surprising, since this was her first year. Kudos, Faith! The 1.5 hour tour takes you part way around the lake, then backtracks. We didn't see any eagles, but plenty of heron, egrets, and osprey. The only problem with our cruise was no fault of Faith's, so I will certainly not count off for it. The rest of our passengers were absolute zombies. Faith worked so hard to get participation from the other passengers, but it just didn't happen. We had a great time. I think next time we will take the morning cruise. We will make sure to take seat cushions though. The seats are hard metal chairs. They were bad enough for 1.5 hours. I can't imagine 3 hours without any cushion for my tush.
