The tour started quite late, about an hour after our due departure time. We were unsure of the reason, we just milled around waiting but we finally did get on board. The staff were very friendly and helpful for sure, but at first it was like a teenage party boat, the music was so loud it was distorted and many of the passengers were running around screaming and yelling. It was not a peaceful experience to start, however, after a while people settled down, the music was a great level that you could hear and talk to your companions at the same time. We then had a very enjoyable remainder of the trip. The weather was unpredictable but we still made the most of it. Note to travellers, if you are not a strong swimmer, the snorkelling can be quite tricky as the current off the boat was strong the day we went, and the seabed was 3 metres down, so there was not much to see. Our driver to and from our hotel to the trip (Mangesh) was fabulous. The lunch and drinks served were great.
