Good but not great

3.00Exit on the channels to do. Nice and punctual driver, clean place. The outing at 6pm let us think we could see beautiful sunsets in some places, it was nice but it is not ottoman. Disappointed with the audio guide that was not coordinated with the places visited, pity and the trip lasted only 45’, not 1 hour. Can do better
No show ?!?

3.00Nick was our boat captain & guide. He was very engaging & fun. We got caught in a pretty serious downpour of rain, but we all took it in stride & had fun with it. We even had (2) dogs onboard which Nick had never had before. Definitely a fun & informative tour.
