“We liked most of the experience. The only thing we didn't like was the lack of clarity in timing. Based on where you are getting picked up a bus ride of 1.5-2 hours precedes the 2.5 hours boat travel. So, all future travellers, please plan your day accordingly. That being said, it was worth the wait ❤️”

There were alot of people experiencing sea sickness but the crew were well prepared for this and frequently checked on people who were feeling unwell. We saw lots of dolphins and my 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed her experience too! The coach was there when we got off the boat too ready to collect us and kindly waited for my daughter to use the toilets near by. Great value for money and it being 2.5…”
