The Experience
Before You Go
Confirm pickup location
This tour uses seat-in-coach transfers—verify your pickup point and be ready 15–20 minutes before departure.
Choose your deck wisely
Upper deck is open-air for photos and breeze; lower deck is air-conditioned and steadier for sensitive travelers.
Pack a light layer
Evening wind off the canal can be cool—bring a windbreaker for comfort on the upper deck.
Avoid feeding wildlife
Seagulls and small birds approach quickly around buffets—don’t feed them and secure loose food.
