We had tons of fun on the sunset cruise, it was a lovely way to spend the evening and see the island from the water. We even saw whales which was such a great bonus! The boat was really spacious and had a great bar! The sunset was beautiful to watch. Would highly recommend!

Excellent value for money. Saw a pod of Pilot Whales which was very exciting and interesting. Good vibe on the boat, apart from the stupid people feeding the seagulls, enticed them to dive bomb the boat.
