1.00The ticket selection on Viator was 2 adult and 1 child and paid for, however, getting to Sealink Ticket counter, they said Viator only booked for 1 Adult. We had to pay for additional 1 adult before boarding. This was deceitful and inconvenient. Its just a Transport fees, its advisable to book directly from Sealink website.
