When we arrived we were surprised at the number of tourists. But the crowd fit well into the boat. We got good seats. The tour itself offers little that is of interest, it is more the adventure on the steam boat itself, the live band, etc.

The boat ride itself was ok, thereā€™s not much to see other than other cargo boats. Get there early to get good seats under the shade. Lunch is served at 12:15 so bring water before then as you will be super hot sitting outside. Also lunch is all the way on the ground floor (we almost missed it as there are two dining areas). Food was okay very spicy but nothing special, fried fish, rice and beans and a piece of sausage. Overall the experience wasnā€™t anything amazing. Probably would not recommend.

The port is the reason this city was founded on this location. It is a major US port with a huge amount of international business. We hope you managed to also view the band.
