5.00Absolutely amazing day in a small group of people from all over the world, guided by Jack, the best guide you wish for on such a tour. Lunch & cold drinks arranged by the crew were more than welcome. Chill day in paradise.
Highly recommended!

5.00Very nice day! Everything is top arranged! There were 20 of us on a boat for 50 men, so we had plenty of room, both upstairs and downstairs. Very nice to sit in the shade too. The bay was very quiet, as promised. Few cruise ships or other tourists once on the water (the port itself is busy). Lunch was nicely organized and allergies or dietary requirements are well taken into account. Recommended!
