It was fun and you get to see the whirlpool close up. We did the domed boat ride. The only thing I did not enjoy was that they said to be there 45 minutes prior to scheduled time for orientation but actually they waited until about 15 minutes prior to trip for orientation. At the last possible moment a bus tour showed up and they were able to board prior to anyone else. This left very little space for people such as myself who had booked the trip over a month in advance. I was stuck in the middle and really could not see much.
