Great views. I think the booking lacked information that the boat leaves at the time that’s listed and they board earlier. Also wish we knew ahead of time that they only take cash for the drinks. Otherwise, the staff and activity itself was a great time!

The views were breathtaking! I wish the crew talked more about the views and fun facts more unprompted. The day we went was very cold and windy but they had blankets for us. Overall enjoyed the experience and would recommend!
