5.00It is a short 1 hour trip with beautiful views of the mountains. Can't remember the name of the guide. He did say he was originally from Tokyo. Hysterically funny. Wonderful personality. Had a fun way of explaining the rules of etiquette while on the boat. Very knowledgeable about history of the area and also the wildlife.
Well worth the hour of...
