    This was a very enjoyable experience with a beautiful night of great weather. We enjoyed being in one of the first boats and watching the full lighting as we moved down the river. The boat ride was a very pleasant way to see the fires without dealing with the crowds. It was also fun to see the Red Bull surfing event. The boat was very well maintained and staff were well organized. I also liked the recommendations on parking and what to wear and bring. A really fun trip.

    This was a very neat experience and I’m glad we did it. It’s a beautiful art installation seeing the fire on the water and the serene music playing. We happened to be in town for a full lighting and really had no idea what to expect. My 16 year old was completely bored after a few minutes because you really are just looking at the exact same thing (fire pits on water) the entire time. If you have some extra time I would say take the boat ride. You get to see the entire thing without fighting the massive crowds of people. (It was a little odd to us that people were just sitting for hours watching fire?!) You probably won’t encounter anything like it anywhere else.
