We enjoyed it! Learned alot about the island! Our captain did a great job and very friendly!! Take the ride!
Our gondolier, Horatio, was friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. A really fun, unique experience.
Such a nice time, we opted to go during sunset, and didn't regret it one bit. Very relaxing and a neat way to see this part of the island. Luka was super professional and offered up local insight. Nice and relaxing!
Really enjoyed the trip. Only one suggestion: might design an easier loading process for seniors.
Most romantic experience for couples in love ❤️ the ride the music the wine everything was priceless
This is a great experience! I would highly recomend it. We really enjoyed the evening ride. The gonodolier was a young guy who was very nice, respectful, and knowledgable about the area. If you're in the area, I highly recomend it!!
Staff were extremely friendly and gondola operator was extremely talented & sang a song in Italian! Cupcake Moscato was very good choice
Don’t worry about getting wine/ champagne before hand, they have it there. They play music and willing to play louder or tun it off. It was nice to wave to other couples when you based in the cayes! Loved this activity with my husband with champagne!
This was a birthday surprise for my partner. Both of us were nervous to take this ride. Our gondolier gave us reassurance we would not fall in. Once on the water we felt so relaxed and enjoyed the ride a lot. We can't wait to ride again.
This was an amazing way to end our trip to San Diego. After all our fun plans in the city, we took an about a 20 minute Uber ride to the Coronado Cays for a gondola ride. We had a 9pm reservation in late May. The weather was ideal, no noise, the city lights in the distance, the moon and a few clouds overhead, soothing background music on our boat, lights glistening in the water, the smooth glide of the gondola—it was all delightful! My husband and I chatted and reminisced and took in all the beauty around us-so romantic. Our gondolier was so courteous and professional. Entering and exiting the boat was seamless and we just eased around the turns so gracefully. It was fun to see all the different boats and stunning homes along the route. So happy we went!
