“Highly recommend this experience. The captain was extremely knowledgable and kind (giving me a jacket when I was cold towards the end). However, it was meant to come with snacks and drinks for the price. We had to share some corn between two of us (in a half of a coconut) and no drinks. Would have liked it to been faster about in the boat as I found 4kz a little slow when in the open sea. However, this is me being picky and would give it 4.5 if I could.”
