Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to see uh definitely some seals cuz I've already saw one in the harbor.

It's going to be a ton of fun.

I would do this again.

The captain said the sea kelp grows at a half a meter per day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring a coat or windbreaker, preferably waterproof, due to wind and splash.
โœ“Move around the boat to get different views.
โœ“Don't get caught up on the glass bottom feature, as it may not add much to the experience.
