I went on this trip on July 19, 2009 with my boyfriend and some other friends from Canada and we had a great time! It's an awesome boat. The guides are friendly and quite knowledgeable...and very patient with the kids on the tour. You'll definitely want to bring your camera with you so you try to get shots of the... more
