Very cool experience. Tour guide was really good (Jesse). Advice: only fish for 1 hr , 20 minutes (80 minutes) max if you want to do the other activities. Kids loved the activity park. The challenge if you catch a fish is that you need to wait in line for a while to get it cooked. No one there speaks English. Having it Sashimi is quick but getting it cooked takes a while and it isn’t clear when you should colllect the fish. We picked it up too early and it was raw. Maybe get the tour guide to help you at this part. Overall a great experience.

Fun and interesting activity, especially if you catch a fish! The day we went was -12 degrees so super cold. Be mindful of strict bus rules around types of food and drink you can carry on. Tour guide was helpful and direct with instructions.
