4.00Out tour was of San Pedro harbor not Long Beach. I wish it incorporated a little of both areas. Was not given the options.
Perfect Long Beach activity!

4.00I love this cruise and have done it multiple times with visiting family and friends. My only complaint is that the sound system quality isn’t the best when you’re inside, so maybe some new speakers on the Kristina would really help. Other than that, it’s very fun and informative.
10/10 recommend

5.00Very fun especially since we end up seeing dolphins. The seals were active and made it even more exciting. The captain was very funny. The snacks were reasonably prices as expected for this type of activity. Overall will definitely return over the years.
Good experience

1.00Worst boat tour I have ever been on. Went up and down the industrial harbor. Other than being on a boat was a waste of time. Thought this was the tour that went by the queen Mary
Great habit views!

5.00Was looking for a condensed sightseeing opportunity while in Long Beach for work and Harbor Breeze did not disappoint; crew on the ship were knowledgeable and welcoming, the Gabor tour was a great way to see Long Beach in the evening and it was just the right length of time. Would recommend!
Time was cut
