Facilities were clean. Online ticket purchase was quick and easy. Hard to understand what was being told by guide over the speaker. It's a good way to end a day being a tourist.
Pleasant morning boat tour

Disappointing...& we've been on several of these. The 'narrator' was about as un-interesting as they come & a 1 hour TOTAL harbor tour would be more than sufficient for the ENTIRE harbor (vs the 2 hours you pay for).
Very informative

Bring a light jacket or sweater if you are going to the top, very windy when in motion. But it was a very nice view overall

I was only in SD for the day, already had plans for the evening, this 2 hour tour was perfect to complete my visit. Got to see so much, the pricing was right, not crowded at all.

From US$37.00
