Not aware of that type of data being available in the public domain. Even if it were available, as shore-ex are so contingent on the guide, I not sure how effective the data would be. Relax on a Cruise around beautiful Lake Minnetonka or down the majestic Mississippi River while enjoying our delicious brunch buffet. We have a large wide open space in the front where people can move around and take in the views, or sit in our comfy seating all around.

The Lady of the Lake offers three decks for your guest’s enjoyment, including a windowed dining area, an open-sided seating deck, and a top-level sun deck. We don’t allow fishing on any of our boat tours. We leave that work up to the pros on Lake Minnetonka. This is our only boat that can allow swimming (on requests) but it still does only last 100 minutes. If you do choose to swim, we limit it to four people at one time and must wear a life jacket (provided).

If I book a private cruise now for only 10 guests, can I add more guests later onto my cruise?

Explore the channels and bays that the larger charter boats cannot offer. Bring your own beverages, some snacks and let us drive you around West Arm/Seaton Channel/Cooks Bay for 2.5 hour on the water, our longest cruises of the year! We will get up and close to some of the best fall colors Lake Minnetonka offers. This tour will have a bathroom on board as well with bluetooth music.

Reservations may be made ONLINE. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

I have done the hike in sneakers and it was doable, but not the easiest. I would have been way more comfortable in hiking boots, which I have with me now that I’ve moved to Bulgaria. This is one of the most straightforward ways of getting to the Rila Lakes from Sofia. The drive is only about 2 hours, and it’s mostly highway except for the stretch up the mountain to the chairlift, so it’s pretty smooth driving. Alternately, from Sapareva Banya, you’ll still need to take a shuttle bus which leaves when full. You can find these in front of the municipality hall.

Party Boat Adventure Awaits.

However, you will miss the greatest panoramic view of the lake – so it’s up to you! It takes about 60 minutes up and 30 minutes down, but it could easily be 2 hours with all the photo stops you’ll want to make. The bus to Dupnitsa takes about one hour and then the bus to Sapareva Banya is another half hour or so.

Delightful food and drink menus designed by you and your event planner will champion the day and help to create lasting memories for your family, friends, co-workers, or clients. Our private tours require a minimum of 8 tickets to be purchased to reserve. We do offer small group/public cruises if you have less than 8 people.

Our elegant paddle-wheeler is a perfect way to experience the history of beautiful downtown Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Queen also makes the perfect venue for private events such as weddings, corporate events, meetings, private parties and group tours. Lake Minnetonka weddings, special occasions, and corporate events are our specialties! Lake Minnetonka is one of the largest lakes in Minnesota, with over 125 miles of shoreline to be seen. Beautiful homes, boating, and nature await on your private Lake Minnetonka cruise. We do have a bathroom aboard our LazyTap, TikiTap and SuperTap booze cruises.

Private Cruises

The only boat without a bathroom is our RegularTap out of Downtown Excelsior. The duration of the LazyTap is 2 hours long, and the other boats are 100 minutes. However, our pedal-powered RegularTap out of Excelsior does not include a bathroom. But don’t worry, we have many friends on the lakes, so we can stop as needed, if you need a break.

I’m not sure of the current exact cost of the buses. Yes TJ Tours in StP used small Mercedes vans and skipped the lines. Hopefully, you reported your experience so that particular guide could be weeded out of the program. We did the included excursion and had a hopeless guide, so our review would not have been favourable.

The price isn’t fixed but should be somewhere around 5 to 7 leva per person. Imagine a series of seven glacial lakes in ombré shades of blues and greens, each distinct in their shape and color. Turning on your heel, you have a panorama of all 7 Rila Lakes, Bulgaria’s beautiful gem, below you. We were extremely pleased with Dancing Bear Tours in St. Petersburg. We engaged them for a two-day individual tour (just 2 of us, a knowledgeable guide and a driver).

It’s called Malka Yurta Hut and can be booked online here. The Tear is at a height of 2,535 meters or 8,317 feet, meaning you only gain about 500 meters of altitude during the hike, but it still manages to feel like quite a challenge nonetheless. If you liked the area and decide to spend a couple of nights, then we recommend you to check these places to stay. You can look through the Viking Reviews  link at the top of this forum. Many reviewers also include each excursion they were on.

You can also pre tip online when you reserve your tour. Enjoy a 1/3lb hamburger built to your liking, served with garden salad, assorted fresh fruit, chips and condiments, along with full bar service and drink specials. "This was just a very pleasant trip on the lake for about an hour. We have recommended to friends and if they had a longer trip would love to go on it."

It’s kind of hard to go from Rila Monastery to Rila Lakes without a tour, even with a rental car, so tours are better if you want to do both. If you have trouble getting a bus to Sapareva Banya, you may just want to splurge on a taxi to get you the rest of the way there. A taxi to the chairlift which marks the starting point of the 7 Lakes hike should cost around 30 leva and take 45 minutes. You’ll want to tell the driver to take you to Pionerska Hut.
