John – United States

The boarding locations were easy to find. The process for boarding at the return was a little chaotic.

K
Kim – United Kingdom

Well this was an exceptional trip! We wish we had had the full day experience as there was so much to explore. We had booked on as a last minute idea after a disappointing experience at the spa. We were not disappointed. The boat was basic but for the price, I have no complaints. The trip itself was amazing and I absolutely want to go back on a future holiday! 10/10!
