5.0010/10 would recommend! The crew was so kind and helped us feel relaxed and confident! Definitely bring motion sickness meds because it’s pretty choppy! If you aren’t a confident swimmer they will offer you an orange floatie. Don’t even second think this experience - just book it! We only had 7 people so it was a small/intimate experience.
