Loved every minute of the trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and the scenery was breathtaking. We will be taking the advice on where to visit whilst we are here. Time always goes slowly on the water, so it felt far longer than 2 hours, in a good way. Oh and of course the seals were so beautiful ❤️

Crew were amazing. Pointes everything out. Very informative. Seeing the seals and learning about the history of landmarks along the way was fab.
