Lackluster trip

Tanya_V, Jan 2026
Captain was late by approx 20 mins, then he ended the trip 20 mins early. So a 2 hr ride became only an hour and 20 minutes. Captain barely spoke to us to provide commentary but was on his cell phone most of the trip organizing his future trips for the day. Overall would not recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello Tonya. We are very sorry that you had an unprofessional tour on our part and that the captain did not provide the necessary attention for you to get a good experience this tour. Unfortunately we had a delay in the tours due to high demand. We know that this does not cover what happened but if on your next vacation you visit us we offer you a free tour.

A great tour! We saw...
