We had a group of 16 of us from all over North America to Long Beach on a sales reward trip and this was a perfect little sunset cruise before a dinner we had planned. They narrate the trip to give you some history of the area, the port, and other landmarks and it is a fun way to learn more about Long Beach. I would recommend it for a group activity.
Traffic was so horrible and I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to make it on time. I didn’t make it on time but the staff are so friendly and the boat ride was amazing. The staff was very helpful and helped me make a later reservation. I enjoyed the staff members and the view while I was inside the boat was amazing. I can’t wait to visit again.
It's a good tour of the Long Beach Harbour. Seeing the view of the harbor from the sea side.. love it!!
Great experience they really explained the surrounding so you can know what’s around you if you are new to the place
The tour was relatively short, but perfect for kids! It was a nice tour of the harbor and great value for the money!
Great value for money and the commentary was very informative. Plenty of photo opportunities such as the Queen Mary and lighthouse. Highly recommend when visiting.
It was a nice tour, not much to see but being in the water and the breeze made it better than I expect it.
Although we had the first trip of the day, we got a late start. The staff was very friendly and getting my tickets was easy. Not a surprise, but no shade in line or on the boat unless you sat indoors. Narration was sufficient, not over the top which allowed us plenty of time to enjoy the sights. We learned a lot! A great cruise in the Long Beach harbor. Decent value for a 45 minute cruise. Great location with lots of places nearby to eat. Bring a hat with a chin strap and be prepared for any kind of weather! In our case.....hot!!
It was nice being on the water enjoying the Long Beach skyline.
Overall experience was nice and very relaxing cruise we had fun
