Made a day-of 2 hour boat reservation with driver for four adults and a 7 month old baby. Was pleasantly surprised to see that they had infant life jackets available. Our driver, Austin, was excellent, getting us to Emerald Bay and back while providing us with some interesting history on locations as we passed. My in-laws loved it more than they expected, which was great as we were celebrating my father-in-law's birthday. Would recommend!
