“Highly recommend this private boat tour! We came in on a virgin voyages cruise for the day. I asked a million questions about the trip through WhatsApp. They were so helpful and quickly responded to all my questions. There was a supermarket on the way we stopped at for some extra drinks we wanted. It was an easy walk from the cruise ship around to the dock (just follow the water around). We got there early and they let us go early! It was a clean, large private boat! There were so many places to lounge in and out of the sun. They had snacks, a huge lunch, and fruits.…”
