The”boat on the Bay was way too long. The engine noise intolerably loud. Could not hear most of what the guide said. I felt seasick into the evening. Mission Bay would have been better for the unseaworthy vessel.

Captain/driver, Reef, was wonderful. Excellent driver and very kind. But the star of the show was his partner, Jewels! She was clever, funny and gave the most interesting facts. Absolutely loved this tour and will tell EVERYONE to try it.

Tour was excellent and guides were great! Would recommend to anyone of any age. Lots of information. Just a note on parking if you park in the parking lot closer to the street, you can get your ticket validated. Also, your entire party needs to be present in order for you to check in.
