This was awesome! I recommended getting there early and getting a spot outside at the front of the boat! We stood the whole time and it was fantastic! The best pics!!

This was a spontaneous booking, unfortunately we were left waiting in the cold for two hours only for no boat to show. I am waiting for the Tour Operator to return my money.

I was told that there would be a 530 departure time. Which there was none. The boat came at 6 PM, the bathroom was filthy and had to stay outside in the freezing cold for 45 minutes to wait for the boat to come. Now I have a cold.
