Great experience! - Such a great experience! We thought the boat would be very rocky but they go slow enough it’s very smooth, in case you get sea sick .. it’s unlikely. We went on the 430pm cruise and had such beautiful photos on the way back as the sun was starting to set. We recommend !

Disorganized, dismissive staff — tour guide was the only highlight - I booked 11:30 AM tour only to find out on arrival that 11:30 was check-in, and the actual boat didn’t leave until 12:30. Not a dealbreaker, but it would’ve been nice if that had been made clear upfront. I arrived around 11:10 AM and tried to check in at the booth closest to the boat. The staff member literally shushed me, held up his finger while watching a guy look at a flyer. No “one moment,” no acknowledgment—just a full-on dismissal. I gave up and walked around until I found another booth where a far more helpful woman told me boarding would start at 12:15 and pointed out where to line up. Speaking of the line: no setup, no signage, no crowd management. It started drizzling and th staff didn’t seem to care we had no cover. When boarding finally began, a woman was aggressively trying to force every passenger into taking a staged “captain hat” photo to upsell later. I tried to politely skip it, but she yelled at me in Spanish for attempting to walk past. I explained (in English) that I didn’t want a photo and was fine waiting for the people ahead of me. She kept shouting in Spanish anyway. Multiple guests around me said they didn’t want pictures either, but she pressured everyone. When it was finally my turn, I walked off—and she yelled again. Not exactly a warm welcome aboard. I mentioned it to the captain as I boarded, and he just shrugged. On the boat, the seating was uncomfortable, especially in the uncovered areas where the benches and chairs felt like an afterthought. The one genuinely good part: the guide who narrated the celebrity homes. She was engaging and clearly knew her stuff. If the rest of the operation matched her professionalism, this would’ve been a totally different experience. Overall, the tour content itself was fine—but the disorganization, lack of customer care, and outright rude treatment made it hard to enjoy. I wouldn’t choose this company again unless they seriously improve their staff training and guest experience.
