Cat boats at Mt Dora

Honesty please.

I like the look of these BUT they look very close to the Alligators!

Who has been on these what are they like, I admit they look great fun but I am petrified of falling off, going under water despite the fact I can swim.

Just how stable are they.

Thanks

They are very stable,they even allow you to swap seats if you want to !They say they are almost impossible to turn over,and you determine your own speed .Do it,you'll love it !

Yes absolutely! Very stable indeed and we did choose to go very fast on the way back. Never felt unsafe and didn't worry about falling in at all.

I�d never heard of these until I read this post but it sounds really good, unfortunately looking at the photos I don�t think it would work for a family of 5 if there are only 2 to a boat.
When I was looking though there were a lot of recent bad reviews on TA so I didn�t know if you had seen these but worth a look as seems to be a few problems.

That's surprising as we thought the whole experience was excellent. I just read the reports and they're not good now. Such a shame as our guide was brilliant and I thought it was Craig who did it.

Exactly...but I read it's been sold so that could explain it.

Yes, such a shame. This is one of my favourite photos of the whole holiday! See trip report below for more ...
