Great Tour Experience with Comfortable Boat Amenities and an Informative Guide

The tour was very nice, especially the amenities on the boat. The timing at each stop was just right, giving us enough time to explore without feeling rushed. I especially enjoyed the caves—they were refreshingly cool inside and provided a welcome break from the hot weather. Thank you as well to Sam for being our tour guide and for being so informative at each stop.
