Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes

Tour

About Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes

You do the paddling, in this classic, low-tech attraction. But, with the right guides, this tour around the Rivers of America is one of the most enjoyable attractions in any Disney park. -- Last edited by Max LaZebnik

I always thought this was a waste of time and didn't go on it that much. But, i went on it recently and it was really cool. It's a lot more fun than i expected. - Chloe !

This is so fun! If your group is fun, you can revolt against the canoe leader and row the other way. Fun for all! - Sarah E

It's a different kind of ride. Pretty fun, but it can be hard to paddle those canoes. And you may get wet also. - Erin : )

this is definitely different than what most people would expect to find at a theme park. The tour guide told us that the water is 25 feet deep. Enough to scare you if you don't know how to swim. hopefully CM's on this attraction are also trained lif guards. If everyone on your boat paddles the ride can actually be pretty easy. - Ben James

Could be arduous on a hot, sunny day. It is a nice thing to experience however, and should offset that. - Wilfredo Alvelo

I love the canoes. Simple as that. The fact that you're actually paddling yourself adds that extra dimension. It's a must-do to work up an appetite for lunch. - Rob P

Don't get stuck behind a kid- they splash... and you don't want to take a sip of that water, or smell like it for the rest of the day. If you actually plan on paddling, ride all your "hold on" rides before because you won't be able to feel your paddling arm after that! - Eric Ey
