4.00it was a fun ride and the knowledge of the guide was satisfactory. It would have been better, if they knew a bit more history/ location about the beaches/ beachy areas that they were showing us while on the boat.
It’s a great experience....

5.00We had a great time! When our driver dropped us off at the marina, we really didn’t know where to go to find our tour. We had to wander up and down and ask everybody if that was the right group so perhaps a better direction might be best. Additionally, we did not know that we could bring bathing suits to swim in the water so that might be nice to let people know that they would have that opportunity. Other than that, it was fantastic!
Superbe day out on the sea
