Arrived for trip & waited for departure time. No sign of boat so enquired at the nearby kiosk, only to be advised that the trip was not operating as the tide was insufficient, which they would have known at the time of our booking & could have cancelled the trip at least the day before to have saved us arriving unnecessarily. The attendant was very apologetic and pleasant and advised that they would refund us in full.
