Unique tour on the water! - This was a great tour on the water to see the container ships. We got to see the loading and unloading process (from truck to the ships). Great narration to tell us about the process and workers. We got right up under a ship too - cool!

Interesting and informative tour. - Having driven by the port a number of times in the past, my husband and I were very interested in the actual operation. The tour was very informative and interesting. We were taken up close to the massive ships in order to observe the loading/unloading process. We also saw how the river needs to be continually dredged to allow the depth necessary for the large ocean going vessels. The Captain and mate were very knowledgeable and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Great trip! - This was so much fun! Captain and crew were both courteous and safety aware on this windy day. They could have easily skipped some of the up close experience due to weather but made sure we got to see everything to understand how the industry operated.

More interesting than expected - Very informative and more interesting than I expected. It’s cold in the morning so wear as many layers as possible! You can bring on your own drinks which is a plus.
