My husband and I cruised on the Harriet Wiles last year for our honeymoon and it was the most amazing trip either of us... had ever had. Staff was very helpful and informative. The Harriet was super clean and just the right size for the two of us. Had everything we needed for the week. We have already booked a two week trip next fall 2022. Cannot wait.read more

Such an epic vacation! A terrific experience that is wonderful for families. There is enough support and information... that you certainly don't feel unprepared or alone as a customer, but there is also plenty of space for you to select your own ports and activities and create a personally customized experience. Outstanding in every way .read more

Wish we had booked it for the week instead of just the weekend. We enjoyed every minute.

in FOREX INVESTMENT I never believed my life will change in such a manner, i saw a review on a page about
Ma'am... Charlotte and before then i have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because i think
i was so wise and never want to be cheated, but when i contacted her and she explained everything to me
concerning trading and the profit i can make within a short period, i was convinced to give a trial and i took the risk
to make my first investment, since then the rest is history. I never sent her money, but only created and fund my trading account all
by myself and give her the access to manage my trads. her trading skills are unique and one of a kind. different from others
please i am very happy to introduce all friends and family to invest in themselves and there family.
Instead of looking for other evil ways to make money or to increase there worth in life thanks

I would absolutely recommend Erie Canal Adventures to everyone! The entire staff is amazing; they all are extremely... knowledgeable, very friendly, and willing - even eager - to help prospective boaters with anything and everything involved with Erie Canal boat trips! I have to give special thanks to Gil, a staff member who had a great, enthusiastic attitude and gave us detailed instruction - particularly on docking the houseboat! He was incredibly helpful, and his coaching ensured that our trip was not only fun, but that we had no problems along the way! And in case we did have a problem, or if we had any questions, or needed help with anything at all, someone from Erie Canal Adventures was available by phone, 24 hours a day. It doesn't get much better than that!!read more

What a unique experience! We were looking for an alternative for a traditional cruise and came across Erie Canal... Adventures and so pleased with the experience. The Onondaga was our home for our 4 night journey exploring the villages between Macedon and Medina, each very different from each other. The trip on the canal was full of different sights and wildlife. The locks and lift bridges added even more to the trip!
The staff was helpful and the boat was well equipped. Would highly recommend Erie Canal Adventures!read more

We had an amazing week on board the Otisco. The boat was fantastic and we really got the hang of things pretty quickly.... This will be definitely be a new annual vacation for me.

We had the perfect vacation for these crazy COVID times aboard a boat we rented from Erie Canal Adventures. They made... sure that everything was clean and safe to use. Any time we had a question or problem they were easy to reach and very responsive. We will miss our home away from home! We loved our experience of the beauty, history and hospitality of the Erie Canal region.read more

We were looking for a socially distanced vacation and found the perfect one. We loved cruising the canal and found the... boat more comfortable than we expected it to be. Training was thorough, the boat was in excellent working condition and we just loved the relaxing cruise and stopping in different towns. I highly recommend for a different kind of vacation. My kids are already begging us to do it again next yearread more

What a great and unique experience! The 42 foot longboat we rented was wonderful! All of the comforts of home,... including 3 to 4 separate sleeping areas, full kitchen, 2 toilets, hot shower, air conditioning (when plugged into shore power), bicycles, etc. Boat was easy to maneuver with basic orientation and a little bit of practice. No boating license required. One of my top 4 vacations ever!read more

Wonderful three night trip. Wished it could have lasted longer. The staff at ECA are super helpful, kind, and... patient, (one of them even jumped in at the dock to rescue a poor girl's phone...). The boats are in great shape, and the towns and scenery along the canal can't be beat.read more

From the minute we arrived at the Marina in Macedon, the staff was super helpful. The boat instruction was quite good,... teaching us how to lock through two different locks before they got off and let us go on our way. The boat itself was a joy to drive and it was awesome to unpack once and move our "hotel" from town to town with ease. Our girls loved swimming in the canal, and the boat was a great platform for it. I called once for help with the AC on the boat, and the mechanic arrived in a little over 20 minutes, and another time I couldn't figure out how to start the boat, and a quick call back from the owner straightened it out. Amazing adventure and a great company to do it with!read more

We are full time RV's staying next door at Red's Twilight on the Erie. We have friends that wanted to pick us up at... this marina on a pontoon boat. We were not sure if they would allow us to park there or not; but, we were welcomed with open arms, overall a fantastic day. A few days after that, we were once again out on the canal and stopped into the Marina for gas and a bathroom break. The staff is incredible, the Marina is SPOTLESS....with all the comforts boaters would need including showers, laundry, library and extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. For all of these reasons, we HIGHLY recommend the Erie Canal Adventures!read more
