we had our grandkids with us.So it was a good amount of time for them , but there was large groups of children on the boat and we could not hear any of the narration, because the groups of children were sooo loud and the motor was super loud also

Good. We sat inside. We had a little bit of a challenge hearing the tour guide. The room and tables were a bit dirty. The tables should have been wiped down. Staff was friendly. Enjoyed the tour.

We took the Harbor Breeze boat ride, it was a great experience and good knowledge about thr harbor we didn’t know

The vessel pictured is not the one you travel on.
While everyone performed their duties adequately to safely get us on and off board the boat. I would definitely stop short of saying, friendly and accommodating.
The “guided“ tour was pre-recorded complete with many mistakes and often not timed correctly to the sites that we were passing.
The route was sufficient to get good views, but again the pre-recorded information was not timed correctly
A couple of live interruptions to the pre-recording were the announcement of the sea lions, which was admittedly cool and of course, don’t forget to visit the concession stand.
While the boat was certainly safe and adequate again, it was not the vessel pictured nor would I anyway say it was nice.
Once we were safely docked and tied off, we disembarked to see a once again disinterested crew member, holding a tip bucket, looking expectantly as people passed by
I try never to leave negative reviews as I feel it’s mostly unreasonable people leaving unreasonable complaints. But it was pretty bad.
Then again, I guess you get what you pay for. Bon voyage.

We had time to kill before a flight at LAX. This was a great mini adventure for my family. The Captain was amazing and knowledgeable. We need more time for whale watching next time!
Cathy_M, Jun 2026
It’s just the right amount of time to see the highlights of the harbor. The weather was perfect! The sea lions were cute!
Mike_K, Jun 2026
Great and very friendly . We had a late afternoon tour got there early and they accommodated us on earlier tour!! Thank you
Virginia_P, Jun 2026
Great way to see Long Beach from the water - including the Queen Mary, loading docks (one of the largest in the world), oil drilling islands, lots of sailboats in dockage, miles of sandy beaches, etc.
Casey_C, Jun 2026
Great trip for the price. It was hard to understand the guide but what you could make out was very interesting.
Leann, Jun 2026
Very relaxing crews around the harbor and very informative about the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend for anyone
Desiree_A, Jun 2026
Wonderful experience will be booking another trip asap !!! We enjoyed every moment the ride was calm and relaxing!!
Dana_G, May 2026
Inexpensive — worth the $20— you get what you pay for —— a little short tour —- not a comfortable place to sit on the top unless you want your back to the view —- they sell beer, no wine
Michelle_C, May 2026
The tour was just around the harbor but it was very informative. The staff were very polite and friendly. It was a good trip.
MarianaR, May 2026
Our two year old had a great time seeing the seagulls and feeling the breeze. It was worth the time and the price was extremely reasonable.
Ernesto_M, May 2026
All around 11/10 experience, got the tickets for $12 via Viator website a very unbeatable price for the stunning views you get from the moment you’re walking up to the cruise ship, to the moment it takes off. The 45-50 minute tour offers 2 restrooms one as soon as you step on the cruise and another just around the corner, it’s also got snacks, drinks, and alcohol beverages for those of age. I would definitely book again anytime.

This experience was so much fun and definitely worth it! The views were beautiful, the music and atmosphere were amazing, and the ride across the water was very relaxing. Before boarding, there were plenty of food and drink spots nearby in the plaza area which made the experience even better. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday with my family and create unforgettable memories. The staff was friendly, everything was organized well, and the whole vibe was fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this experience for birthdays, date nights, or family outings!

Viator took my money but didn't send me the confirmation until after the trip was over. Won't use again.
Siosaia_L, May 2026
It was all worth it. My kids were enjoying it and it's their first time riding on a boat. They were having fun.
Lisa_F, May 2026
It's a great way to get a little overview about Long Beach. The only complaint is that it was sometimes difficult to hear the recorded information.
Chad_K, May 2026
Great experience. Smooth ride. The crew was awesome. One guy checked on us every 15 minutes. Enjoy!!
Andrew_V, May 2026
AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Easy to book, easy to find, easy to board. Everything was simple & I will go again!
Gizela_G, Apr 2026
Although we waited for other people to board. We still had the entire 45 min. Doesn’t go far at all but it was enjoyable for people who have never been on a boat.!it was super!
Wendy_H, Mar 2026
Informative tour of the LA Harbor. The captain was very knowledgeable. We also saw dolphins and sea lions.
Mark_G, Mar 2026
Beautiful experience and a beautiful day. However, the sound system on the boat was not very good. We were looking forward to hearing more facts about the history and the capacity and just interesting things about the harbor. However, the quality of the system was low and we cannot hear almost anything..
Melanie_S, Mar 2026
Very easy ride with lots of information about Los Angeles port. 45 minutes out on the water. Food and drinks available.
Anika_B, Mar 2026
My boyfriend and I had a spontaneous idea of going out on a local boat ride and found Harbor Breeze Cruise on Tik Tok . We had an amazing time and got there just in time for the sunset. Would recommend that you get to the line early to get a good seats on the upper deck. Parking is limited in the city so give yourself time to find parking. Long Beach have tons of surrounding events.
Sarah_P, Mar 2026
Changed our depart location last minute and didn’t give offer of refund just to use tickets later. Also had to get in ticket line anyways to get physical tickets. “Captains” started cruise late.
EricandTangie_G, Mar 2026
Enjoyed the tour. It’s a leaning experience. So much history and culture to be learned. The history of the ports was intriguing.
