Value for money

Excellent pricing by this site as compared to other third party aggregators. I am glad we didn’t have any changes as I heard it might be a bit of a hassle to allow any changes on the platform.

Not a great experience

Ferry start location changed last minute n we were made to walk 15 minutes…n then we waited 40 minutes for other groups to arrive..the ferry was delayed by 45 minutes…in the end the journey was not worth the wait n stress..not a scenic ferry ride either.

Sightseeing boat cruise

It was a lovely cruise with very polite staff. However the educational and directive audio was not very clear, because the volume was too low. We couldn’t really hear much.
