Awesome tour! - Had a very wonderful experience on this boat tour and a great tour guide! This was a very beautiful, scenic tour. The boat ride was very smooth and views were amazing! Paul, our tour guide, gave a very thorough run down of the significant landmarks and gave us a great experience on our tour! He was very kind and experience with the area. We would definitely let him guide us again! 10/10 recommended if you are in the area!

Loved it. - We wanted the arvo but they were booked out so got the morning which was prefect. Means you beat the heat as there is no shade on the boat. The water was crystal clear - you could see the bottom. Loved every moment. A great way to see the cost and learn about the history from our captain. Fully recommend the experience. The swim was just awesome.

Do not book - Boat left without us. The time you select and the departure time on the ticket is incorrect the company just decide to leave whenever they feel like it. Our trip was suppose to depart at 8:15am and we turned up at 7:50am and the boat had already departed. We note we were 5mins late for the check in time at 7:45am however we were over 20mins before the scheduled departure time so it is extremely unfair that the boat would leave without us and ruined our day. The departure time is incorrectly advertised and should not be printed on the ticket as an 8:15am departure time if this is not intended to be adhered to. I called the company over 5 times with no response. The staff were unfriendly and unprofessional and very difficult to communicate with. We were unable to get a refund or reschedule so was a waste of money. I will not be using this company again don’t recommend.
