Myself and my partner were really looking forward to the sunset boat trip. We arrived at 4.30pm as advised thinking that if we were early we would be at the front of the queue hopefully getting a seat on the top deck of the boat. We were told because we were only a party of two we had to sit at the front of the boat as the trip was sold out. It did'nt appear busy but little did we know that we would stopping at an island to pick up other passengers. Only knew the name of the island due to the sign- St.Jerolim island. The passengers were advised to sit where they sat earlier. A couple boarded and sat down and then were asked to move. They then sat down next to us and spent the trip vaping and getting drunk on the unlimited white wine. In fact the male was witnessed putting a bottle into his rucksack. The couple were very dominating in their mannerisms especially the male and because of this we did not consume any of the unlimited drinks as we felt trapped in our seats and therefore unable to help ourselves. And as for the food- my partner had a dry miserable portion of fish that tasted like it had been cooked twice. I was unable to eat my burger and cabbage as it was saturated in oil, managed a quarter of burger which was'nt pleasant, Despite the oilyness on the outside, it was dry as old boots on the inside. It did'nt help that I was feeling queasy from all the vape smoke I was forced to inhale. I spent the last part of the trip with my shirt over my mouth as I could no longer stomach the smell of the vapes. What should have been a relaxing experience for us, felt more like we were on a party boat in the end as the couple especially the male got louder and the pair had no regard for us at all. As for the.boat trip I feel like I know nothing about the Brijini National.park as there was very little commentary and when there was I could barely make out what was being said and as for the dolphins, and the amount of other boats preventing us from getting any closer, it was a case.of blink and you will miss them. Unfortunately felt that this trip was reallty not worth 50 euros each. Disappointing.
