“We're giving this experience 3 stars because of the wide range of experiences we had. I thought it was fun and interesting (34M), my wife hated it (35F), and my daughter did not have fun for most of it (5F). It can be very boring at times and depending on the weather and crowd, very uncomfortable. However, it is also very informative and a good way to see some beautiful sights.”

“Lovely cruise (we were lucky with the weather) out to the archipelago. Good commentary. My only criticism is there was a bit of confusion when joining the boat as it wasn't as originally suggested. Could have done with a notice with time/description of tour. Lots of people ending up asking staff if they were joining correct boat.”
