We got wine, soda and water during the ride. The sunset view was very nice. I also took pictures of the cranes lighted up in different colours at night on the harbour from the boat. It was a nice experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 511 reviews · from $58

Choose fish, meat, or vegetarian dinner, then watch the sunset with unlimited red and white wine and soft drinks. The boat takes up to 100 people.

“Our activity was good and it was our fault that we didn't arrive at a "good" time and get better seats on the boat. But after a while you could walk around and see some of what the trip has to offer. The staff was fantastic even though some passengers were a "pain in the ass" when they wanted to see dolphins or the view. Maybe with less people in the bow in the future so that everyone can have a chance to see dolphins at sunset. The food was delicious. But because of our fault and some other people then it will be a small minus that you can't…”
