We are here as evacuees, is there a reduced price for your tours if we show that we are from the effected area

Sylvia Ruiz | Nov 1, 2017
Mike Everett | Nov 1, 2017

Sylvia, I do not believe so. There is a new operator of the boats as of Sunday morning. You can check with them.

Has anyone done the shuttle option? What's it like? How often do they run from location to location? And where are the stops? Also, the only parking I've been to was the garage next time the AMC. Is that a good place to park for it?

Elle K | Jun 3, 2022

Yes... They let you know ahead of time when they will be back around. We found it to be very helpful and pleasant.
