Fantastic 5.0

We had an exceptional sunrise tour with TJ Van de Kaap and TJ Van de Kaap Sr. The trail was challenging but was facilitated with expert guidance from this team to traverse and climb the mountain. They provided history along the way and identified various flora and fauna. Thank you for a most memorable experience.

Great 4.0

Very scenic sunset cruise. The crew was lively and entertaining. It was a bit too crowded on the boat though.
