nice boat tour, arrive the recommended 20 mins early to have a seat on the upper deck. we showed up with 5 minutes before the time and still attended so don’t let the description fool you (tells you to be there 20 mins before so you don’t lose your spot) lasted the hour that was promised, went a little bit over. our guide was adam driver-esque in the best way, and very good with significant fun facts.
