4.00It’s kind of what you make of it. It wasn’t very informative and there wasn’t much to see during the tour. The crew members were friendly though & there were concessions available for purchase. I also appreciate how clean the on-board restrooms were kept. Tickets were only $12 & you can expect a $12 experience. I honestly just went for the boat ride & it was decent. Was also a bit shorter than 45 minutes. Maybe 35, give or take.
Great experience

5.00This was a very short excursion but it was a nice way to spend the time. We were able to see the harbour and the city from the water and were provided with information along the way. It was especially great as we were able to see a pod of dolphins swimming beside the boat and a barge bringing in a space-x rocket.

5.00I was the only one on the upper deck! Went here to celebrate my 20th birthday alone and I could say that this was the best bday ever. Go at 4:45 PM so you’ll witness the sunset 🥹
