Very refreshing and relaxed travel on the water. Nice platter served onboard. Pleasant and helpful crew members. If only the top deck lights were a bit dimmer, it would have earned 6 🌟

I enjoyed the views so much and curiously met another solo traveler on the boat. Loved the snacks and the jokes made by the guide 🙂

Myself and my wife don’t normally do this type of thing, but we were so pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it, managed to sit near the Skipper and have a chat as we made our way along the route, we even got complementary cakes and tea or coffee, thanks guys for a very enjoyable couple of hours.
