5 The historical boat tour was great. There was a loud recorded presentation but the first mate knew a great deal and willingly shared his knowledge and experiences with us. The staff on the dock was welcoming and friendly! I highly recommend!

We had the most amazing time. There were only 12 of us guests on and we all sat up front. Although the sound system didn't work we had the best guide on our trip. He was great! Since the sound system didn't work we all got free drinks! We were asking questions and he answered them and then some. When we landed we were offered money back since the system didn't work. We all refused saying we had the best time. I did the sunset cruise 3 years ago and it was also a blast!!!
