“Very well run. The team on the boat are friendly and work hard. The boat is really comfortable. The toilets are well maintained which is always a good sign. Nice and laid back. 2 swimming spots are fine but please bear in mind that you don’t visit the islands or any beaches. Food was really nice. I really like that they had nice drinks (try the lemonade) even though these are free. A lot of tours will give you lower quality free drinks in the hope that you will buy the drinks that aren’t free. Overall I would recommend the tour.”
