Late morning departures (9-10am) offer the best combination of wildlife activity and comfortable temperatures. Visit during fall through spring (November-April) for the most pleasant weather and calmest seas, avoiding the afternoon thunderstorms common in summer months.

Tours typically range from $50-75 per person depending on the cruise type, with family packages often available. Free street parking is available nearby, though it fills quickly during peak season. Restrooms are available onboard, and light snacks and beverages are usually included.

Peak season runs November through April with the best weather conditions. Summer tours (May-October) are still available but may encounter afternoon thunderstorms. Sunset cruise times vary by season. Book holiday weeks well in advance as tours fill quickly during school breaks.
