No Restroom Available on Boat as Advertised - My biggest complaint about this experience was that according to the listing on TripAdvisor there would be a restroom available on the boat and there was not. The tour operator made a restroom stop, but only the men on board were able to use the available facilities, and the women had to wait until the end of the tour. Several of them were very uncomfortable by that time.
