The boat ride was absolutely worth the $100! The captain had tons of super interesting facts and book excerpts. It doesn't get much better that Emerald Bay, anywhere! Get there early so you can get yourself a great seat in on the front of the boat. I will do it again when I visit.

Definitely loved the crew members. I loved their service and how they wanted to make sure we are having a good time. I enjoyed the cruise ride in the sunset I was able to see the sun behind the mountains which gave the most beautiful view. I appreciate the information given to us by the captain on Emerald Bay. 10/10
