Buy one get one free is a great deal, although it's a bit far, the value for money is very high, and the food is delicious! There were no oysters tonight.

Brought my dog along and was seated in the outdoor area, facing the chapel. The food selection isn't extensive, but everything is delicious.

The Klook buy-one-get-one-free buffet dinner is great value for money. There's a wide variety of hot dishes, cold cuts, desserts, and ice cream cups to enjoy... too many delicious foods to list! I would recommend it to my friends!

Bernard was a very good guide, so informative and we even got to taste Hokin dumplings. The boat ride was wonderful and safe. With views of the islands you would never see on shore. Would definitely recommend this. Such a photo opportunity and educational. Bernard explanation of geological formations and history of the islands giving us great insight of the area. Thankyou Bernard for being such an experienced guide.
