I went on this cruise multiple times in the past 10 years but my recent visit has been my favourite so far! Melissa and Mackenzie were beyond AMAZING. They were super super fun and knowledgeable and the tour was very informative and interactive.

Back on the shore, stop by the Black Anchor Snack Shop for a picnic lunch. It just feels like summer out here!
