I wanted to share this photo from 2012 of the Ice Cream Cruise with my granddaughter when she was 5 years old.

Left the dock on time, friendly staff. Have the option of sitting upstairs or downstairs, you can purchase items like chips, hot dogs, candy, sodas and alcoholic beverages at a reasonable price.

It's a great time if you want to see beautiful landscape and nature. Also at times they have activities you can participate in while you are in the boat. Also reasonably priced!

This is a nice leisurely paddle boat ride to Jersey Shore and back. It offers fresh air seating and indoor, air conditioned seating. They have a small bar with some alcoholic drinks, water and I believe soda. They also offer a few different snacks and hot dogs.

Captian John & The entire Deck Crew & Bartenders were the BEST! Hubby & I took this "Hiawatha Riverboat " [in June, 2019] 4 TIMES in ONE DAY! LOL. Tickets are cheaper than a Movie ticket! Will definitely come back. It's only a half hour from our place:) Kudos to the 2 wonderful gals upstairs in the gift shop too!

An hour-long Cruise down and then back up the Susquehanna with a history video running and some discussion of the logging industry and local history. We were up topside two-storyand nice sunshade but you could get into the sun if you wanted to or out of it if you wanted to seating was nice staff was friendly snacks available and there was a bathroom on board

Great trip to take the family on. It's an hour ride on the Susquehanna River with a half hour down and back. Had beautiful weather and I actually won a prize and got to drive the paddle wheel boat. You will really enjoy it.

We love the hiawatha. We frequent it quiet often. Unfortunately tonight wasnt our best experience. I didnt realize people were allowed to smoke on it. My kids wanted to be outside but I didnt want them in the smoke. It made it a very stressful event trying to deter two kids from leaving the bottom deck.

If the Hiawatha were closer I would eat dinner every Friday on the boat. The Mexican dinner we went to on the boat was fantastic and for 30$ a person including the boat ride, ya can't beat it.

There were two lines, one for a bus tour and one for the commoners. The bus people, who I imagine paid equal or less, boarded first and got the outside seats on the top deck. We had to sit inside with air conditioning that was freezing, along with restricted view because we had windows with screens. (No use for the screens, they serve no purpose.). The music was horrible, and the video was unnecessary and boring. I realize this bus group was unique to our group but they were catered to and the rest of the riders were left to feel unvalued. I won’t be back nor will I recommend this. We weren’t the only group to feel this way, I heard families stating the same.

We had a blast for the bingo cruise.everyone's 1st time. I even won 50 dollars on regular bingo! Sept. 9 is the last bingo. Wish I could make it again.

A somewhat discreet attraction to the area that exceeds all expectations. I have been to Williamsport countless times, yet unfortunately overlooked this gem. For the cost of $8.50 you are able to enjoy a beautiful, educational, and eye opening perspective of the Susquehanna River and surrounding area. It's history is documented in a 20 minute video upon the boat. There are snacks and a bar on board and the tour will depart regardless of the number of passengers. Even if it's just 1 or 2 people. Great experience.

We went on the brunch cruise and it was absolutely lovely! Perfect weather for a ride on the river! We'll definitely do this again! I highly recommend it!

I enjoy this ride every time I go on it it just so happens that it's hard to get there when they have the events the live music ones are the best. The ones with ice cream or even better so I suggest anybody in the areas do this if they have time cuz it's a beautiful ride as long as the weather is good and if it has one of the extra things who could complain.

Brought 54 people to hear the history and see the beauty of this part of the Susquehanna River on this refurbished paddlewheel boat. Everyone enjoyed our "cruise".

Beautiful scenery, expected more bugs but really not an issue. Wonderful smell of campfires as you drifted by shoreside campers. A business event with excellent catered meal and friendly crew. Smooth ride, no seasickness

It's a Beautiful Paddle Boat ride up and down the Susquehanna Rivet. The food is very delicious, and all the help is marvellous. Their job is too made everybody happy and they do a good job. The Park is just beautiful and kept so nice. I would recommend it as a great day trip.

It was a nice experience for an hour. Scenic views. Historical videos to watch. Some refreshments are available on the ride.
