Nice relaxing cruise around the harbour and canals seeing both wildlife and luxurious lifestyles of the waterfront elite. Fun feeding the pelicans and fish. Good information from the skipper on the way around about local history, wildlife and real estate made it more Interesting.

The commentary by the Skipper was equal to the beauty of the local area with pelican and fish feeding also a highlight. Fantastic , we have already recommended this cruise to everyone we know.
