Even though most people on the trip weren't English speakers, Eva explained all the key information clearly. Sunsets and views on the boat trip were amazing. It was so tranquil. This was definitely the best part of the whole experience. There was a technical problem with the microphones at the start and we nearly had to change buses, but Eva and the driver tried to fix it, and did.

Very good. The coach was very friendly and gave us good instructions. We got lots of practical tips. Communication took place in English and Spanish. We had a great international group. The conditions in the water were good for practicing and we had a lot of fun. We would do it again anytime! Highly recommended!

Very nice combination of bus ride, walking and boat ride. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
