The food was excellent, the bar was stocked, and everyone on our cruise seemed to have a great time. The weather for us in early February was cold and overcast. I’m glad I packed a sweater to wear for dinner at night. For kayaking, I wore my raincoat. For swimming, the water was cold but not unbearable. 5 people in our group of 12 went for a swim. I recommend this cruise! Less
It was a very well-organized cruise! Although the weather was not the best, the tour was worth every penny. We went kayaking to a private beach, where we saw no other tourists. I would recommend this tour!
