the place where I had to pick up my ticket was wrong, I was sent to the aquarium, and no one knew what to do with me. The tickets cost 70 dirhams on the spot, but I paid 30 dollars. You can also go to the pier for 20 dirhams and watch the entire show. There's no point in doing that.

You can see the fountains without paying for a tour but I would highly recommend the boat trip, front row seats, & only 8 people to a boat, feels like your own personal showing.

You buy tickets with a specified time, but there isn’t enough space for you, and you have to wait another half an hour for the next boat.

Upon arrival at the location, we found no boats operating due to maintenance work. The docking stations were completely unstaffed, and there was no indication that the service would run at any point during the evening. We waited at the designated area, but it quickly became clear that the activity had been canceled without any prior notice or on-site assistance. No Refund so far. No reply to our email or WhatsApp.

The boat ride itself was wonderful, but the tour company was not. They were not responsive to my emails / WhatsApp messages and they arrived 30 minutes late to pick me up. I don’t think you really need to book a tour to do this, you can just get tickets ahead of time at the desk.
