My husband and I enjoyed this experience immensely. The food was phenomenal and the water was tranquil. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience on the water with good friends, delicious food, and beautiful scenery. Hosts were kind and generous making our party feel like it was a genuine and sincere effort of hospitality. Comfortable seating inside the cabin and open deck to enjoy the outdoor breeze. Good omen seeing dolphin pods swim around the raft. This is a special treat for tourists and locals alike.
This was a wonderful experience from start to finish! The ride was so smooth and relaxing. We loved being able to have drinks on the boat patio while enjoying the beautiful scenery! The food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was so kind and attentive. Our only complaint was that the trip was too short! We will absolutely be booking again!
