Beautiful one hour Tour

Easy boarding,, beautiful boat to cruise on. Choice of indoor or outdoor seats, friendly staff, and beautiful scenery. One hour boat tour. Not a lot of information given during the cruise, but that’s OK, time to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend. We got there about 20 minutes early and were first in line to board.

Beautiful little cruise

Attention, the address is precise but the oasis is easy to find as all the companies are close and the name of the concerned company is not very well indicated.

Nice but needs air-con on the boat

Really nice trip around the lake with a decent guide. The boat is not Air Conditioned and moves to slow to generate much breeze so it was quite hot.
