It is an alternative for people that don't have a whole day to spend to do the boat cruise.Although a ride with the boat was included the fisherman denied to take me for a ride.So I spent an hour sitting on a stone and waiting for the sunrise to come.I couldn't enjoy not even that because the fisherman kept me occupied by taking photo postures and telling me to take photos. The cormorans were well fed,so they were just sitting on the shoulders of the fisherman without caring to dive to catch a fish.The driver was punctual,he even brought me to the train station after finishing the show. The landscape was wonderful and peaceful. Don't forget to tip the fisherman after the show who is somewhat greedy.
