We pioneered this offering so many have tried to emulate.

DETAIL#

We've transformed our popular 50 passenger Party Boat for the weeks leading into Halloween into a fall spectacular, bursting with autumn colors, ready to transport you into the world of the unpredictable.

Your adventure begins as we cruise upon the waters of the lake with a captivating talk show-style presentation, complete with rich media content and interactive audience participation. Dive deep into the mysteries of Lake Lanier as we explore what really lies beneath its water and why so many believe it to be haunted. From local historical society-endorsed history to spine-tingling eyewitness accounts and ghost stories.

Before we dock at an isolated island, our expert guide will brief you on the island’s haunted history and train you on using authentic EMF readers and EVP recorders. As newly minted paranormal investigators, you'll disembark, leaving behind all electronics and phones. We'll shut down our generator, plunging you into an engulfing darkness in an uninhabited location.
