our instructor Ingrid couldnt do enough for us and drifting past the cliffs at sunset was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and 2 hours on dead calm water, and used it for our summer trip. Would book again no question.

our instructor Kemal had so many stories and a glassy inlet with nobody else around was the highlight, and over easter break, 10/10
