5.00The cruise was amazing. I went with my husband and two children, 16 & 14. I was worried they would get bored but they had an incredible time. The commentary was just enough, not overbearing like some can be, but informative and gave you time to just enjoy nature. The food was delicious and there was an abundance of it. The pelican feeding was a highlight and we even got to see some dolphins. We had such a lovely time as a family and it truely was a highlight of our trip.
Chilling on the river .
