My husband and I loved the tour! Beautiful scenery, learned a lot about Lake Union, the locks in between Lake Union and the Puget Sound, and Seattle tourist attractions. We did opy for the 2 hour cruise, and agreed the 2 hr cruise is the way to go. The 1 hr would have been to short!

A great tour with a knowledgeable and funny tour guide. The weather helped too of course. It’s an amazing experience going through the Ballard Lock.

Very nice and short boat ride for us as 1st time Seattle visitors. Crew did a great job showing and telling us about the city and its surroundings. Price feels a bit high, but at least we were able to walk to Pier 55 from the Symphony light rail station after stopping by at Pike Place market on a holiday.
