The small group and front net make this a more personal outing than a crowded boat trip.
“We had a wonderful boat tour! in advance all the details for the start of the activity and the meeting location were given to us via whatsapp. We could bring some snacks on board which was perfect because the activity took part around dinner time. The group on board was not very big, so it was a chill atmosphere and you didn't feel like "one of the many tourists". We would recommened it anytime! :))”

The small-group feel suits families and relaxed swimmers, but not non-swimmers or anyone prone to seasickness.
