Glass bottom adventure - So informative, the crew was amazing and pointed out different fish species and told us about the area and history. The boat ride itself was smooth, the captain took measures when other boats were near to make the ride as smooth as possible.

Customer Service A+ - Well I can't attest to how the boat ride is, as we unfortunately got rained out. I am leaving 5 stars for awesome customer service. They let us know a day ahead of time and immediately responded to the refund request. We look forward to trying this the next time we come. I hear they have a lot of knowledge on helping save our oceans and what is all changing.

Fun boat ride - It was fun but mostly is a boat ride with maybe 5 minutes of looking at fish. The captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable.

5 minutes of fish viewing - The captain and the other staff were nice and informative. Saw fish for less than 5 minutes. Boat trip was nice.

Meh. - This is a one hour tour. For 50 of the 60 minutes there is nothing to see under the boat as it's moving. We stopped for less than 10 minutes to see/feed fish - that's when you can see fish. Most of the view outside going and coming is of cargo ships and the their port, so not all that scenic. The short time with the fish was cool, but we expected more. Crew was great - very friendly. At least it's only $25 (in person, not here on TA).

Mostly a boat ride with loud music but could be improved - All of the people involved with the tour are extremely nice. I had two major problems with it though. First, music is so loud that it interferes with your hearing the guide Seriously, not background music-the person next to me said that she had been on booze cruises where the music was not as loud. Secondly, the seats are so low that you cannot see out of the windows,. I’m pretty tall, but I (and all the other passengers) had to spend the entire hour standing up if we wanted to see what was going on out on the water. The tour is mostly a boat ride with maybe 10 minutes of seeing fish, and a sea lion. . My suggestion to make it more of an Eco Tours is to expand on the characteristics of the kelp forest, the fish, and spent some time on the birds that you see on the wall as well.

Nice overall - Very nice ride. The fish were not very cooperative and the speakers were so loud when the lady was talking it gave us headaches. Overall very fun and it was better once they allowed us up top away from the speakers.

Terrible, never again - Just seeing sea lions. VERY POOR communication. In the text which I received 20 minutes before departure!!! said “423 Shoreline Village Dr. between funnel house and shenanigans Irish pub!!!” Turned out it was in front of Yard house. Never again
