Fun quick excursion in Long Beach. Saw lots of fish and the guide was knowledgeable. Note that this isn't a sightseeing tour, and you can't really see out without standing up a bit awkwardly unless you go outside to the small viewing area. Great option if you want a comfortable ride with plenty of shade.

The employees of the boat were engaged as well as enjoyable. Seen fishes, birds, seals, and a shark. You're able to feed the sealife, which attracts more to come.

We had an amazing experience … we were late to our actual time slot but they allowed us to move up to the next one which was really nice my grandsons, my daughters and my hubs and and I really loved it… we enjoyed the ride, seeing the fist through the bottom of the boat … we loved how they supplied to the food to attract the fish because I wondering how we were going to see them and was it going to be random… the host and captain were both really nice… having a female crew was a vibe… I would definitely do it again

We were lucky enough to spot a baby gray whale. The fish were fun to see and the boat ride was nice! The boat is small and enclosed. It was warmer in the front of the boat due to the windows. If you want to look out you will need to stand.

Harbor cruises in the area are half the price and personally, more enjoyable. The glass bottom was fun, but the boat only stopped one time right next to a wall, so if you expect to see a variety of fish in multiple places then you'll be disappointed. 90% of the experience is just going to and from the wall where the boat stopped for about 15 minutes. Again, the ride itself is great. It's beautiful. But for half the price you can get on a larger boat and stand on a deck to enjoy the fresh breeze without the fish and it's more fun. Also, there was a child screaming loudly for the majority of the hour. Many guests were visibly upset. Since it is a small boat there is nowhere to walk to escape the noise like with a larger boat (of which there are adult-only options!) It definitely soured the experience. Overall, nice boat ride, disappointing glass bottom, way too expensive for the quality of the experience. Go with a harbor tour cruise instead.

We really enjoyed our boat ride! It was a beautiful day and we had a nice time! The Captain and the staff were nice and it was fun feeding the fish and watching them.

We loved feeding the fish and looking at the seals close up. Our family had an amazing time. We loved learning about different things that we didn't know before.
