Be sure to take a camera and money for the food - very cheap. It was awesome seeing all of the fish going for the food - hundreds of them. Guide was very knowledgable and friendly.

This was such a fun and interactive tour. Soo many fish feeding tubes, glass bottom windows to see the fish activity and a small deck to enjoy the fresh air. Brandon and Andy were fun, informative, so kind to engage the kids-10 out of 10 would recommend them!

It was great! We were the only ones and the crew gave a personalized ride. The crew was knowledgeable about the area and pointed out places of interest with stories.

This is so much fun. It’s a 50 min boat ride. It doesn’t go too far but it’s worth it in my opinion to get on the water and see the fish. You do need to pay extra if you would like to feed the fish. I didn’t mind that.

After waiting for about an hour, the tour was cancelled.
A refund was promised for the four of us - I hope I don't have a problem with it.

We didn't spot anything unusual or super-exciting just lots of fish and a sea lion. Safe and fun. Nice to see what goes on under the water instead of having to wait for the marine life to pop up out of the water.

On time very informative from the host very chatty easy to find from the rhe ship glade we booked the trip just the right amount of time.

So fun! Tons of fish swarm the windows. Just long enough to not get bored. Did not feel claustrophobic either!

Was a great little, fairly inexpensive trip for my daughter and I.
Highly recommended, and be sure to have $5 bill for fish food!

Very short trip to two spots to feed fish. 5 per packet of food. Not helpful in terms of learning about the fish in the area. More then half of the viewing widow was blurred by an air bubble so very hard to identify fish of any sort. Driver seemed to be just putting in the time. A waste of our time. Sorry, but you asked.
