3.00Ride was fine but more entertainment than sightseeing. The guide was amusing but you can only see the town of Charlottetown thru binoculars (which they provided). For my cruise, admission price was significantly lower if you on shore rather than online.
The two guides: captain...

5.00The two guides: captain and co- captain had GREAT senses of humor and engaged us all with history as well as entertainment!!

4.00This was a different way to experience Prince Edward Island. The speaker/presenter was very good. The only negative was not knowing there was a lunch option when booking. I guess that is something only offered either through the cruise line or directly through the tour site online.
Great dinner and tour of Charlottetown harbour

5.00My son and I really enjoyed the solar boat dinner cruise around Charlottetown harbour. The food was excellent and the entertainment (a man playing guitar and singing) was enjoyable as well. Steve educated us about the history of the solar boat and its origins from Expo '67, and spoke about key landmarks on the Charlottetown shoreline. Highly recommend!
Great tour

A bad deal for folks with mobility issues

1.00As we are older and have mobility issues we were unable to go down the boarding ladder and were unable to take the tour. We contacted the operator but he could not refund our ticket price or a credit. Would recommend this tour.
What a disappointment

1.00Complete waste of time, too long for a cruise to no-were. Even funny guide with his knowledgeable comments and a trivia contest could not safe it. This was a first offer on the way from the ship which sounded so promising, so we got into it. Please don't get into the same trap and learn from our experience. Just a 1/4 mile, or even less, plenty of other, more enjoyable excursions are being offered. One star is for a lobster cone, which was actually very good.

Small ship but made it...

5.00Small ship but made it cozy. Food was tasty. We had the chicken, ceasar and home made rolls so can't rate the lobster roll. Guide entertaining and knowledgeable. Encouraged questions and answered them so people understood. The range of information was amazing.
