Today we took a boat trip with Captain JJ. It was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend to everyone. Captain JJ was incredibly kind and shared many fascinating stories with us. We truly want to recommend him to everyone, as it was an unforgettable experience. Helena Surina

Our guide Anna was very informative with a great personality. Said straight away any questions pls ask. We paid slightly more for a beer or soft drink. I have done a cruise in the past and this was far better. Definitely recommend

Great tour. Boat was nice, they didn’t cram you in there like other tours. We did ours at night- loved it! Bob was great and I highly recommend this tour! We were able to sit in an open top but part was covered, it that is what you wanted!

Amazing experience!!! Danika (sorry if I’m not spelling that correctly) was a fabulous captain! The boat was comfy and cozy, especially on the rainy day I went on. Highly recommend to take the tour with these guys, especially if you can get captain Danika!
