Staff was so friendly. The captain stayed for a while in front of the carving so we could take a lot of pictures. The lady on board was lovely! She knew a lot and gave us some tips about where to go, what to do. Wifi on board, and free tea and coffee. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was just a ride out to see the carvings. If you have never been, do it. This is my 4th or 5th time and the water level this low is a first. Other times were on different boats & kayaks over the last 20 years.
