Thank you very much for joining us, we love that you had such a great time!
Few days before the departure, the weather forecast was cloudy with a little rain. Luckily, that day was a sunny day! Clear to see the carving on the wall! Have enough time to take photos. Although I travel alone, I enjoy so much! Nice view, nice people.

Was incredible last minute decision on the day as fog lifted to sunny day we decided to book here . Family of 4 NZer's, mr 7 boy and Mr4 tyrning 5 yrs old in couple days. This was a birthday treat. Prompt start and lovely service ftom skipper Pete and Azora assistant. Felt looked after, nice drinks reasonable prices other than complimentary ones. Boys were offered chance to drive boat, couldnt feel more special or exciting. The boat itself great condition so clean and tidy and much more spacious than seemed. Besutiful scenery and enjoyed the carvings as a destination. Interedting facts about lake. Great day out so pleased we did it.
