5.00I absolutely loved the experience. I was worried about the weather as it was raining in the morning but it cleared and I was reassured that the cruise would still go on and we will be fine. Brian was our Skipper and he phenomenal in showing us every hot spot on the tour and also taking wonderful photos of us. I have already recommended this to a friend, coming in 2 days time. I’ll definitely do it again.
