I had the impression that sightseeing boats were more hectic, but the moderate distance allowed us to calmly observe. It was also helpful that we were given advice on when to take pictures.

The explanations were not too technical and to the point, so they were easy to understand. It was a nice point to be able to get close enough to see without binoculars.
