Fantastic weather, Great views, great experience, informative and funny guide (think his name was Sean??, originally from Australia he said).
The boat trip was a complete success. We had wonderful weather, a bright blue sky and the sun was shining on the turquoise water. The guide talked a lot and kept pointing out special places in the beautiful mountain landscape. The speakers were just a bit too quiet, so it was sometimes difficult to understand him. We were even able to watch fur seals, which put on a real show for us. A wonderful afternoon!
