This 2 hour cruise around the harbor was very informative even though...for reasons not explained...they skipped Thunder Hole. The naturalist who is a retired high school teacher was very informative and had a great sense of humor. More

The cruise was very affordable and comfortable. The guide, a science teacher during the school year, was very friendly and knowledgable. It was a great thing to do for a last minute plan.

Good sense of humor, very knowledgeable, and responsive to all of our questions. He knows so much about the history, biology and geography of the area, and we soaked it all up. The day was lovely,...

Great trip, informative and the kids had fun too. The adult tickets were a pit pricy (29$) but kids were only 5$. Trip was over 2 hours and the guide, Chuck, was knowledgeable, entertaining and kind. More
