This is the best thing you can do for yourselves. The crew at Southern Discoveries is awesome, caring, committed and knowledgeable. Kudos to Karina- our tour guide. She is a gem of a person and went beyond her call of duty to make sure everyone's experience on board was memorable, informative and fun. Please give her a pay rise.
