i really enjoyed this boat cruise. it was a rainy afternoon but you can sit in the restaurant where it was nice and warm. it was a beautiful experience. the only thing i can recommend is for them to turn the volume up a bit for the audio guide. if people are talking you can barely hear what the guide is saying.
