My husband and me enjoyed the lighthouse cruise very much and would definitely recommend it to visitors in the area. The boat turned out to be different than displayed, so in case you are likely to get sick on the boat, be prepared. It had three levels and only the top level was out in the open the lower levels did however have a back opening. It would be nice if the crew could organize a ticketing system where everybody on the boat gets the chance to sit up top if they like to. If you did happen to sit outside you would not hear a word from the guide. So take your pick. View or education. Also make sure you put plenty of sun lotion on as you don't feel the sun on the fast moving boat. It would be nice if this kind of tour would be offered for the Cape lighthouses. Including the tour map on Viator would be nice as well.
