4.00Our Ruby Island cruise was canceled as the Lake was too full with the rain and snow melt. We were vey efficiently transferred to the lake cruise and drinks in the afternoon .it was wet, but the boat handled it well and we had a great familiarisation trip. The crew were excellent and helpful.

3.00The tour organised called me 25 minutes before the boat was due to depart, and said the tour hadn't met the minimal number of guests to run, so that it was cancelled. He did kindly offer a free upgrade to a longer tour departing later that day, however this didn't fit with our schedule. It would have been nice if we had been notified sooner. He could have called earlier that day and said it was looking unlikely the tour would run due to lower numbers, FYI. (We would have not waited around in town that day had we of known.)
Worth doing - reasonable value for money
