The cruise was awesome! We were lucky there was only 5 people on the boat so we could move around the freely and sit in different places. The views were amazing, especially of the mountains and the guides were knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. I’d definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time. The staff was welcoming and took us pictures. We even stopped to take pictures of the Dolphins. We are definitely coming back.
