Or, come back for the nighttime version and we’ll introduce you to a whole other world that only comes out after dark.As we feed the fish from our semi-submersible vessels, you’ll see a wide array of undersea dwellers: bright orange garibaldi, spotted calico bass, urchins, rockfish and bat rays, just to name a few. This is more than a tour; it’s an undersea adventure.A colorful Fish Finder Guide and souvenir button are included with each ticket purchase. Advance reservations are recommended. « less

The was so neat! I am so glad we chose this instead of the glass bottom boat. This on puts you underwater so, you are able to swim with the fish w/o getting wet! The tour is about 45 min. We saw TONS of fish! Loved it! More

This was more fun even than I expected. Seemed expensive when we bought the tickets, but I have absolutely no regrets. BTW, you can get a small discount if you buy another one of their tours at the same time. More
