Amazing Trip Along A Stunning Coastline
(Updated: January 28, 2020)
Thanks Les for an amazing trip along a stunning coastline. We all appreciated the small group tour and your personal and local knowledge. We were surprised by the large number of caves and rock formations and that we were able to enter them safely in your boat. The weather was perfect and the seas calm.
