Coach was comfortable enough but was a little cramped. The tour guide was absolutely brilliant, so energetic, knowledgable and just a lovely person. The tour itself was amazing but the boat tour was definitely the highlight. We brought insect repellent with us but our guide had some we could use if needed. The boat was spacious and the views were amazing. The sunset was beautiful and we were dropped off in the same location we were picked…”
