A fun adventure for all ages. A mix of road and sea travel/touring that provided some fun information about the local area. The opportunity for littlies to have a turn at the wheel on the water was terrific and gave the children a different experience. Kudos to both our driver and guide, both of whom were great fun and who related easily to passengers.

Overall it was a unique experience and the entire process was smooth from check in to finish. I just thought we were going to go in the ocean and see the city from that view. That was not the case. We went into like a bay/marina and saw the back on the city. The guide and driver were very knowledgeable though!
A must DO!

We took our toddler on this for his first time the tour guide was just so lovely and very good at their job. We got some great information along the way. The best part was seeing my toddlers face when he got to drive on the water it was a true highlight.

This is a boat-like tour through the river from a bus ride through the city in an amphibious vehicle. The kid had time to let me drive in the river and he was overjoyed. It's recommended for families.
