Thanks to Mike and his amazing historic boat, this tour was an unique experience! We saw so much of the lagoon and the surrounding islands and Mike gave us explanations about the history and the people who lived there over the centuries. Especially the eastern very natural part of the lagoon was impressive with it´s rich bird populations and small islands. Thanks so much Mike for making this the highlight of our trip!
Had a great time on this tour. This is a great boat tour agency to deal with. The captain stayed very flexible. We booked the longer boat tour and we all enjoyed being able to see a lot and also have time to go swimming because it was very hot. But the boat also has a sun shade so we could get out of the sun. We also had ice cold beverages and even a Spritz.
Thank you for the 5 star review. It always makes me happy if my guests had a great time. Hope to meet you and your group again.
This tour was great. Captain Mike was great with the whole family. He adjusted the tour to fit my families wishes and made sure to explain to the kids in a way that they had lots of fun but still giving the adults great indepth explanations. The boat is so great too. It is so beautiful that I wanted to take it home with me.
Looking forward to meeting you in September again. There we might already see the first birds resting in the lagoon on their way south.
