We had a very good time on the relaxing, scenic boat ride. Capt. Jenna was obviously a very skilled captain and her sidekick Jacob did an excellent job with informing and entertaining us. They were both wonderful!

It was a lovely way to spend the morning. Trinity and KenG were informative and funny, a great mix. It was also a nice touch that they came down the cabin talking to all guests.

Didn’t get to go. Showed up 35 min early, as recommended. No parking, couldn’t find a spot. Drove around and around for 35 min. Nothing. Shouldn’t be able to purchase tickets online. Makes no sense. Drove all the way from Calgary, ( air bnb after driving from Fort McMurray).

We arrived early for our boat cruise because parking is limited. We were able to get a beautiful hike in prior to the cruise and saw a couple getting married on the rocks. We wish we had brought bear spray because without it u r limited to a shorter distance on the trail. Understandable! We enjoyed getting out on the water with the boat cruise. Very peaceful in the back country and we even saw an eagle!
