Great Way to See Long Beach from the Water

Great way to see Long Beach from the water - including the Queen Mary, loading docks (one of the largest in the world), oil drilling islands, lots of sailboats in dockage, miles of sandy beaches, etc.

The trip is self was very good, just don't ever call for help because you won't get help!!!

I called to get help and the person who was attempting to help me had a very strong East Indian accent! I was unable to understand him at all it was extremely frustrating!!!!! I called back to another person only to 2 more individuals who had the same heavy East Indian accent!!!!

Very good; we were able to go up an hour earlier because we arrived before expected, allowing us more time to explore.

Very good price for the experience, and it is accessible and fun for when you don't have much time. 40 minutes is a very good amount of time.
