“Easy last minute booking. We booked an 11am charter and showed up at pier 10 mins early. The boat was there on time at 11am.

“I would not recommend this tour. We paid $603 for a private guided tour. Twenty minutes into the boat ride, we asked when the guided tour was to begin since it's 2 hour tour. We were told we had not chosen the guided option. I showed them receipt and they made a call and said they would pick up guide. He showed up 1 hour into a 2 hour tour. We had only planned for 2:15 hours so missed about half the stuff on itinerary. It was a special surprise for my two friends birthdays to do a private guided. It was a complete waste of money. We could've done…”
