    Review summary

    4.7
    Excellent
    4K reviews•Google Maps

    The lumberjacks here know how to put on an entertaining show with impressive chainsaw skills and genuine crowd energy. Visitors consistently mention the humor woven throughout the performance, with jokes and banter keeping things lively between the competitive events. The performers actively engage the audience, dividing them into teams to cheer on their favorites, which families especially seem to enjoy. Even young children get caught up in the excitement. The location works well for cruise passengers, with most finding it an easy 15-minute walk from the docking area, though a couple reviewers noted the distance felt long for their group. Shows run early enough to fit into tight port schedules, and the performers themselves are described as genuinely nice people. While one visitor found it only mildly entertaining, the overwhelming majority had a great time. It's described as somewhat corny but in a fun, family-friendly way that works. The combination of skill demonstrations, competitive spirit, and audience participation makes it memorable enough that many call it a trip highlight.

    I had a great time at the show when I visited in October. It was exciting, and the lumberjacks really got the crowd involved.
