This is a wonderful experience! Make sure you are not afraid on a boat or the water. That being said, the boat felt totally safe, and our captain drove no faster than any other boater does. The views were beautiful, the boat ride was fun. The Captain was quick to pull over and stop for pictures and discussions on wildlife. Our Captain and Naturalist were Bevin and Alyssa. Both were terrific! We were lucky and saw some wildlife, Eagles, harbor seals, mountain goats. They allowed plenty of time for pictures. The orange life preserver suits were interesting. It did get cool on the water, even on a hot day, but the suit was warm.
