THIS WAS AMAZING! Honestly this was so so so good. Absolutely worth every penny spent to do this adventure and my husband and I aren’t youngsters. He’s 57 and I’m 46 and we had an absolute blast. Don’t be afraid to try this. Yes your backside will get a little sore being bounced around but it’s SO MUCH FUN and great for any skill level and age as long as you are old enough to be able to stay on the boat. Our guide was great fun and very knowledgeable and we had plenty of opportunities for photos. Highly highly recommend!

The whole trip was a great experience and would do something similar again. the only thing i would mention is that the Throttle on the boats would not stay in position so you had to constantly hold it otherwise it would stop, this meant when the sea was a little rough you only had one hand on the wheel. i noticed the guides boat the throttle stayed in position. it could be a saftey thing but annoying.
