I also bought this as a Christmas gift for some friends. We had a great a great time! Much better than a candle or something else none of us really need.

I enjoyed the ride around the bay. We weren't as close to the seals as I expected but I understand they are protected animals. For some reason I thought we had to pay for parking and ended up parking elsewhere in Newport. It would have been good for Save the Bay to be clearer that they had a free parking lot.

No--they were friendly, informative, and fun. They even had binoculars for those who came without!
