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.”

“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.
