First we went on a thrilling amphibious in the Dell river and then a delightful boat tour in the Lower Dells. Though it was summer, suddenly the weather turned cloudy on reaching the Lower Boat Dock. My joy knew no bounds as I love getting drenched in the summer rains.

There were few visitors on board. The tour started at the scheduled time, so far to my remembrance it was evening around 5.30 or so. As the boat dashed into the river waters, it started drizzling and I was awed to see Mother Nature at Her best.

I just lost myself for a while in the nature. The stratified sandstone on either side, cloudy weather with drizzle, greenery on either side. OMG! it's so beautiful.

It was a wonderful ride and am sure nature-lovers are sure to enjoy it. The ride was much delightful for me than the summer splashes in the water parks.

Somehow, I enjoyed this boat ride more than the Hudson River cruise where you can enjoy the man-made wonders i.e tall building / skyscrapers in the shoreline. But in Dells Boat tour, you'll be awed by the wonderful scenic beauty of nature.
You feel so relaxed as the boat navigates. The beauty of the rock formations is worth seeing.

The boat ride in a cloudy summer evening in Dells river, getting drenched in the drizzle was a real delightful one. Those living in the mid-west region can easily drive to Wisconsin Dells and enjoy the scenic beauty of the place.
