5.00You should not look for other ferry ride. This ride includes all the views you need. The boat is super clean, personnel is so kind, helpful, we felt like we were at home. The narrator guide Molly is just wonderful, her voice and the manner of speech were so smooth couldn’t get enough. The pictures with the photographer came out beautifully too. Just get this ride and you won’t regret.
Excellent and enjoyable

1.00This is 90 minutes of my life that I can never get back and I totally regret that I bought a ticket. I wanted to buy a COLD BOTTLE OF WATER from their store while waiting to board the boat, but the water in the refrigerator was warm so I waited. The lady in the store was unpleasant, but the guy was nice. I found a seat once I boarded the boat, but there was a "ROACH" on the wall where I was seated so I moved immediately. I wanted to buy a cold bottle of water, but it was WARM, and I would have had to pay for a cup of ice which I refused to do after seeing the ROACH. Hey, here is a suggestion, why don't you just put the water on ice? I was seated inside because all of the seats were taken on the deck, so my view was "HORRIBLE". I hate that I wasted my time and money because I did not have a good time.
