Fantastic!
The trip was really special. Being a smaller boat, the group size was kept small. So you had plenty of space to walk around the boat and sightsee without someone getting in the way. Both the captain and skipper were amazing and had in depth knowledge of the area and what wildlife we would encounter. Highly recommend this tour! Especially if you get overwhelmed by crowds. It made the whole experience much more special being in a smaller group.

Hi Sasha Thank you for joining our tour and this wonderful review. Like you, we prefer an uncrowded boat - it makes the trip so much more enjoyable for everyone. Join us again soon. Cheers, Tony and Mafi

Loved it!
Such a great experience. The skipper really knows the local history and wildlife and the dolphins seem to love his boat :) had an awesome time cruising around the bay and saw loads of wildlife. Perfect afternoon. Would have liked to stay longer.
