Not worth the money to add the island tour

Took the additional island tour. Not worth the money. You are in a large group on a school bus for hours. You get out a couple times for a picture. Otherwise the tour is just driving by things so fast hard to see. Driver Jennifer to ferry was awesome! Tom the guide was great.
