We really enjoyed the lock cruise. It was not what we expected, but was very enjoyable and informative. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 45-Minute Seattle Harbor Cruise: Tiny Cruise, HUGE Fun! 🌊🚢 I can’t believe I liked this experience SO much! I’m about to hop on a 20-day cruise, but I squeezed in this 45-minute Seattle harbor cruise first — and honestly? I’d do it again in a heartbeat. It was educational, fun, and showed me Seattle from a totally different angle. The staff were awesome, especially the crew member on the mic who kept it entertaining and informative. I totally want to do this again! If you’re looking for things to do in Seattle, put this on your list. We used Seattle CityPASS and the price was amazing — such a good value. A total must-do when in Seattle! 🌊✨

Well worth it! Great views of Seattle and Mt. Ranier (we had a clear day), friendly staff and entertaining "narrator". Interesting tidbits about Seattle and its history. Clean, comfortable boat.
