The experience in the boat was nice, but the bus ride to the put-in point and especially from the take-out point made me want to snort cyanide in order to remove myself. Someone from management should ride the bus and hear the embarrassing references, incorrect local knowledge, and cringe-worthy attempts at humor. It is clear from his delivery that everyone else who came before us suffered this same experience - he's told these stories and made these jokes a thousand times . . . and it shows. The bus driver's anecdotes dominates the environment - making conversation with even yourself, prohibitive.
That being said, once out of the bus and on the boat - it was a good experience. Expectations of seeing a lot of wildlife were adequately managed. This is mostly a float trip and an opportunity to bond w/ your fellow boat people - more so than a wildlife viewing event, and I was okay w/ that.
