The boat is clean, has a great dance floor, and eating area. The girls enjoyed taking pictures at sunset on the front deck where I later took a nice, cozy nap with my mom while the girls did their teen thing with karaoke in the party area. Maria was incredibly helpful, attentive, and very kind catering to our group every step of the way. This is our second time renting this boat but I can almost guarantee it won't be our last!! Thank you for an incredible space where we get to make beautiful, lifelong memories with family and friends!

From what I read it's something common they tend to do. I'm not the first person to have to change plans in less then a day. All they tell you is "We've been advised by our operational tech that we need to reschedule bookings" my booking was scheduled for 8-2-2022 at 4pm and they emailed me this at 3:47pm on the 8-1-2022. Not enough time to look or book something similar with a different company. If it does happen to you book this company better THE GONDOLA GETAWAY

ACTUALLY , the closed windows were great because of the air conditioning! The windows were plenty big enough to see everything and you didn't smell marijuana all day. . 2. We saw everything ! We leaned a lot from our driver and.he knew pretty much everything. 3. The bus was clean and comfortable especially for an all day tour . 4. I thought we had plenty of time at each stop and the stops were perfect IMO. -Santa Monica -Venice Beach -Beverly Hills -Farmers Market -Griffith Park -Hollywood 5. Our driver cared about everyone . One of our stops , a couple ( from another country) was lost . He made contact with them , made sure they were ok BUT did not leave !! We started with everyone and returned with everyone ! 6. It didn't affect us BUT he was bilingual and very good at spanish with his other guests 7. Very important - Our driver/ tour guide was amazing ! His name was John G. Very knowledgeable about everything LA even the history . He knew something about everything . Plants , trees , buildings , where stars lived , gee wiz things, even things about the other guests states they were from . Everything !! Too much too list . He enjoyed his job . We did not have a vibrant bus but that didn't stop his overall enthusiasm and motivation . I hope everyone have him a tip. He earned every bit of it . Always felt safe , he had road detours , that didn't matter , he found a way around !! Our one time in LA after several trips so why not !! This company is top notch. Why this company with so many out there . It was recommended by Universal Studios . Then we researched . Over 7,000 reviews with 4.8 stars out of 5. Thank you John G!!! And thank you A Day in La!!

Our tour guide Dave was awesome - engaging, informative and also inquisitive as we were all an active part of the tour. What more to add? Yes, book the last tour of the day as the tour guide may not feel as stressed to get back to the Hollywood Blvd location on time and you may see some of the local celebrities, either driving their vehicles or briefly walking outside. Great company and ditto experience.

Don't worry if you don't have gear, they do and don't worry if you are just tagging along with someone who loves to fish. A great time will be had. The yacht is so clean and very comfortable. There are bathrooms and places to sit. The Captain and crew are so nice. They are very helpful for people just starting out and they know how to help the seasoned fisherman. You can also charter the yacht to spread ashes of a loved one. I have not done that, but some were doing that before we boarded and they had a lovely little ceremony for their parents. There is also a lot to do right in the Marina before or after. You will love it.

Fantastic experience with BlueWater Sailing School…read more I took a class at another sailing school before coming to BlueWater, and the difference was night and day. The other school's course felt rushed, and it seemed like everyone passed no matter what. At BlueWater, the instructors really make sure I understand the material, can handle the boat, and feel confident before they sign off. They're very knowledgeable, the boats are in great condition. They genuinely care about helping people become competent sailors. Highly recommend.

We've been taking Harbor Breeze Cruises for many years and have probably been on the Long Beach…read moreHarbor Tour more than a dozen times. Whenever we have family or friends visiting from out of state or overseas, it's one of our favorite activities because it's a relaxing way to see the Port of Long Beach, the Queen Mary, and, if you're lucky, the sea lions. We brought another group yesterday, and everyone enjoyed the tour. The only downside, in my opinion, is the boats used for the harbor tour. Yesterday we were on the Kristina, and in the past we've also been on the Caroline, which we chartered for my mother's ash-scattering ceremony about 14 years ago. Both vessels are showing their age. I also think the marketing could be clearer. The photos on the website and many travel sites prominently feature the newer catamarans, which gives the impression that those are the boats used for the harbor tour. I actually called ahead to ask and learned that the harbor tours use different vessels. While I appreciated getting the correct information, many first-time visitors probably wouldn't think to ask and may expect the newer boats shown in the advertising. The harbor tour itself is still worthwhile, and we'll likely continue bringing our guests because we genuinely enjoy the experience. I just hope Harbor Breeze considers updating or refurbishing the harbor tour vessels and making the marketing a little clearer so guests know exactly what to expect.

I took the 2 1/2 hour Whale Watching & Dolphin Tour. I've always wanted to see a whale…read more When you check in you get a paper ticket and they tell you which dock you go to then you line up. There was a lot of people in line. I was in the middle and thought I wouldn't get good seats, but I ended up sitting outside in the front. The boat is really nice and big. The front is the best place to sit with a good view of the whales and dolphins. The inside was packed and you don't really see a lot and sitting outside in the back you could smell the fumes from the engine. I did see dolphins and whales - the mom and the calf. They had a couple of experts talk about the whales and dolphins. We were past Newport Beach when we finally saw the whales. We spent a good amount of time seeing them. Then we went back. It's gets windy. It was a fun experience.

From booking to instructions for arrival and parking to answering any questions we had, they made everything super easy. Captain Breydan took us out, assisted by Rhia (Rhea?) who helped us with drinks and organizing our potluck of items we brought. They were both so kind and laid back and dealt with our birthday antics with a smile on their faces. The cruise was a lot of fun and we even got into a pod of dolphins who were swimming under the front of the boat. It was a truly incredible experience and definitely the highlight of the day for everyone. We stopped to swim & it was all around a great time. The boat was clean and looked great. I can't wait to book with them again!
