You get indoor seating, outside decks, blankets, WiFi, a bar, and a return ticket if no wildlife appears.

“Everything was perfect but the parking instructions. We saw many whales and dolphins as well as puffins. We got the big yatch but was not too overcrowded so we could spot everything with no issues :)”
