-We do a lot of different trip than other tour companies. It is well worth the money with nicer itineraries (more time kayaking, swimming each day), and we cruise further to amazing landscapes in less touristy areas. You also have more time on the boat, not like a 47 hours trip by other companies. Join us, you will start the trip at 11.00 of Day 1 and finish at 15.30 of Day 3. What should be better?
-The trip can be flexibly changed due to customer's demands, the weather and the tide as well.
