A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT!
adrianaev,,Jan 10, 2026

2.00We were fooled by the publicity, this was not an interesting or recommended experience at all. There are no interesting places to see during the trip, mainly containers and the commercial port. The dining room of the boat looks with little category... Luckily we do not hire the option of lunch or dinner. The narrator (guide) during the journey was very good.
Nice tour but too crowded.

3.00The boat was really crowded with not enough seating for everyone. The line to get on board was very long. The food they offered for purchase (we did not choose the lunch buffet) was good but the line to get it was ridiculous. It took about a half an hour which is 1/3 the trip time to get a few items. They only had one person, sometimes two, staffing the food purchase area. They really should have had more. The gumbo was delicious, though. The tour itself was okay. It was difficult for us to hear because the only spot we were able to sit wasn't near a speaker so we missed a lot of what was in the tour. The view itself isn't great because it's very industrial. The tour guide, when I could hear him, was engaging and seemed knowledgeable. If someone were to take this tour, I would recommend getting in line early so that you could get a good seat and possibly enjoy it more.
Standing room only

2.00More tickets sold than seats, so unless you are in line and hour before start you won't get a seat. A fight broke out over seats with passengers. It is not a 90 minute excursion with time taken to move way from wharf ...really closer to an hour
Good tour

4.00While the experience was enjoyable, it was very cold. I should have been more prepared. Food and drinks were available, and the staff was pleasant.
