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!Posted on Google![]()

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.+7Posted on Google![]()
