Wonderful time on the tiki boat! Our captain was friendly and fun, and pointed out good spots for pics etc. He had a cooler for drinks and space to store our bags during the tour. He also had a bluetooth speaker so we could play our favorite tunes. They even had coconut cup holders! Dock was easy to find and parking was not a problem, though you should allow extra time for parking because the Armature Works area can get congested. Great time and hope to do it again soon!
