Hey Yelpers! We saw posts for this attraction on Instagram and wanted to check it out. It's a golf cart trail excursion through and around the forest and cliffs of the Ozark Plateau in Branson.
The service was nice. They are very friendly and helpful, with a short tutorial on how to drive the golf cart.
The excursion itself is a lot of fun. The scenery is beautiful, with some amazing views of Table Rock Lake down below. There are numerous waterfalls you drive past, with areas to pull to the side for pictures. The drive-thru cave portion is also quite an experience. They have a "bar" near the entrance to get drinks and snacks, if you wish. The items are somewhat higher priced and can also be purchased in the lobby. The cave passage is narrow. GOOD ADVICE!!! Buy the additional insurance on your cart. It's only like $8, but if you hit/scrape a wall, you may be on the hook for the damage.
Why did I only give it a 4? They also do a Christmas version of this tour, and the light up animals are left out all year. As large as some of them are, it's understandable. However, there is a BEAUTIFUL, large waterfall that has a giant reindeer positioned directly in front of it. You have to work to get a picture here without the deer in it, and can only capture a portion of the falls. I love Christmas, but the decorations were a distraction. Also, the website says it takes up to 2.5 hours. Our tour took less than an hour. Maybe if it is really busy, I could see it taking that long, but the tour wouldn't be as fun.
Overall, would we come back? It would be great to see the Christmas version at night (the carts are equipped with headlights). Would I recommend this tour. Indeed! The Ozarks is one of the most beautiful areas in America, and this tour puts it on full display. Come for a visit, and bring a camera!
