Customer Testimonials

My brother and his family were visiting from Florida and I wanted to make their time in the area memorable. I had done the big boat tours but when I found the Falling Waters Boat Tours and its description I knew we just had to take the trip. Captain Fred was so welcoming, informative and knowledgeable...my brother and his family totally enjoyed the trip and the absolute majesty of being that close to the Falls. The history and information that Captain Fred shared with all of us was very educational and entertaining. After the tour when we were at the natural shale patio next to the Falls by his home was truly awesome with a wonderful variety of local cheeses and fruit. Captain Fred walked my brother and I out by the Falls and there are no words to describe the sheer awesomeness of being at the base of the Falls. It was an 80+ degree day, so the mist and water from the Falls was wonderfully refreshing. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a different perspective on Seneca Lake. I told Captain Fred we would definitely return and I would recommend his tour to any and all of my friends and family.

A Captivating Journey on Seneca Lake: Unforgettable Memories Await!

Embarking on the boat tour on Seneca Lake was an absolute delight! From start to finish, Captain Fred's boat tour offered us an unparalleled experience filled with perfect weather, great personality and exceptional hospitality. We are already planning our return trip, eager to relive those magical moments on the shimmering waters of Seneca Lake.

From the moment we stepped aboard, the weather seemed to synchronize with our excitement. The clear blue skies and gentle breeze were the perfect companions as we set off on our adventure. The warmth of the sun on our skin amplified the sense of serenity and joy that only a beautiful day on the water can provide.

My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed the boat tour by “Falling Waters Boat Tours!” Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and provided us with a lot of interesting history and information during the boat tour! It was also such an amazing experience to enjoy wine and cheese off of the patio right next to Hector Falls!!! I highly recommend “Falling Waters Boat Tours!”

Tara Wroble

We had the pleasure of meeting Captain Fred and his hospitable wife. Our private chartered tour was amazing as they have their own private waterfall in their backyard. We enjoyed a nice glass of wine, and charcuterie on the terrace as we relaxed listening to the soothing sounds of the waterfall.

Our boat tour on Senaca Lake had great weather and was perfect for being on the water. We enjoyed learning the history and an old myth tale of the lake that Captain Fred delighted us with.

We will definitely be booking again for our next trip. My best friend already booked another private tour for her husband's upcoming birthday.

I appreciate the small little touches both Fred and his wife did to make our experience quite memorable for our party of 5. I highly recommend Falling Waters Boat Tours as it was pure bliss!!!

This is the boat tour to take if you want to get out on Seneca Lake. Forget the big tourist boats with 100 other people. Captain Fred’s boat is perfect for up to 6 guests. We sat in the bow which was so comfortable and we could see everything. Fred is very knowledgeable about the lake and the surrounding area and is commentary as he drove us around was interesting and educational. Following the boat ride, we were invited to the patio of his home which sits right next to the waterfall. We sampled some delicious local cheese and a glass of local Chardonnay (other beverages were offered too). Afterwards, he guided us in a walk across the Falls….bring your bathing suit if you want to get right under the falls. A perfect way to spend a couple of hours and get out on the water and up close and intimate with the falls.
