5.00What a fantastic experience! The narrator, Josh, was so knowledgeable, and I felt safe the entire time on the ship. Josh made sure to point out all of the interesting things to see and gave a great background on each. Definitely go if you have the time!

4.00Tour was overall really fun despite the weather being sort of cruddy. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area we went around. My girlfriend really enjoyed the seals towards the end of the tour I really enjoyed the lighthouses and forts and hearing all about the history.
