“Finding the exact boat was a little challenging but we got on with no issues. Nice boat, clean and safe. Cushy top filled with cushions but it started to rain before we left so everyone ended up on the first floor - but we all fit and made new friends! Crew was nice enough, they didn't say very much but told us the names of the stops. Would have liked a little music or more info about the stops. We didn't really go by the castle but saw it from the water. First stop was the hot spring cave - much nicer than it looks from the outside! Don't miss…”

We left later than the other boats, which worked out perfectly because we reached each spot when it was less crowded. Just as other boats were arriving, we were already leaving for the next stop. The water was absolutely incredible! You must bring goggles (we didn’t, and we really regret it) because swimming among so many fish was magical and so beautiful to watch. 🐠 The atmosphere on board was lovely and everyone was friendly. The price/experience value is unbelievable. We would happily do it all over again! 🌊🌴”
