Fabulous trip

Everything about this trip was fabulous. The crew were very friendly and attentive and knew what they were doing. The activities at the island stop were very good, I snorkeled around Roberton Island and loved it. This was followed by a hearty lunch on board. Many thanks.

Lost my bottle

Brilliant day. Great value. Crew friendly and helpful. Lunch provided was delicious, as was the fruit! Took us to a beautiful little island for swimming and mooching. Incidental dolphins appeared. Magical. Only downside was losing my water bottle. Thanks!
