Be careful booking with Viator. I did selecting 1 ticket veteran and one senior 39 dollars each. Then when charging my card they charged 96 dollars. I booked 1.5 months in advanced and they charged my card 2 days befor event. Did not reply back to me when I questioned it. The company’s web site took me to viator to book my reservations. Overall the excursion was enjoyable and well done. Recommended only buy tickets on site.

This was THE BEST way to celebrate my 50th Birthday. Although I went alone, you could not tell because of the atmosphere on the ride. From beginning to end the crew and guest were amazing. The warm welcome began before we even left the dock. Beautiful Staff, Great Narration, Smooth Ride....I will be back next Year!!!
