Do not rent a canoe, kayak, or raft from Buffalo Outdoor Adventures. Their customer service is terrible and they are extremely rude.
We have never rented from BOA because their prices are higher and they wouldn’t put us in unless we had a large group. I will say that this season BOA would never give us a set price over the phone because gas is as high as it is. I can’t comment on their services though. We have always used Riverview Motel and have never had a problem. We just called ahead to get the boats and they have never been hesitant no mater the group size. Nice people and good service.
