Our guide was wonderful - knowledgeable & welcoming. Unfortunately the boat is not designed for good views. We sat in the front and the hull prevented us from seeing well - our children had to stand up. Also, the description stated 15 people per trip for safety. - we had close to 20. We also had a party of four that had too much to drink. Our guide handled them the best he could, but they were very disruptive. It would have been nice if he had denied them from boarding.
