Great customer service in a bad situation - Unfortunately our cruise ship could not tender at the island on the day of our tour so we could not go on our boat tour. We received a full, no hassle refund for our tour which we had booked independently of the ship. Great customer service.

Iconic excursion - I think it was reasonably priced for an iconic catalina experience that was really unique. It's not long but I think it was long enough.

You will see fish! - Great experience. Easy to reserve. They take you out to 3 points where they put out fish feed and it attracts many fish m. You will definitely see them!

Fun and different - We loved it! The guide was super nice, and we went to multiple locations. Would totally recommend bringing cash for torpedo food! Thatā€™s where the real action happens!

See through boat - I was not expecting too much, but it was a wonderful experience. Not much variety in fish but itā€™s the fish thatā€™s on the island. It was still so fun to see. We were also followed by seals which was super fun!

Fun Birthday Experience - We went for my daughter's 8th birthday - she loved it! She loved seeing the different fish but more loved going over the waves! Thank you!

No glass bottom boat due to cancelation - Excursion was canceled a few hours before scheduled only to see people from our ship going at the time we were suppose that paid threw the ship...so we were bumped by the cruise ship excursions. Thankfully the lady at the pier took care of us and upgraded to another excursion that was 30 min later at no charge.

Great for small children - Not so much for adults - The boat was full of screaming children 5 years old and under. I couldn't hear anything the guide was saying. The boat barely went out from the dock, fed some fish so they would swarm around the bottom. We tried to keep a positive attitude and enjoy the view of the kelp beds, but I was underwhelmed.
