    This was the second time I booked this cruise. The crew is friendly and works very hard to give each person the best experience possible. The skill of the boat captains is phenomenal; they expertly get you in and out of the caves for a great viewing experience. The barbecue on the beach was a relaxing end to the trip.

    It was a great day, the staff on board are brilliant and made the day. Weather was amazing too so that was a bonus. The welcome by the guide at the docks could have been better, a "good morning everyone" would have been a good start, but he just looked and acted fed up.

    The staff on this trip were amazing, one of the best boat rides we have had. Everything was organised well and the team worked hard to make sure everyone was involved. Would definitely recommend, they know what they are talking about and have so much knowledge to give you & suggest to you.
