De gids was goed, en zeer behulpzaam voor de mindervalide medereizigers. De bemanning van de boot was ervaren, en de bootreis zelf was erg fijn en mooi. De eilandjes waren mooi om te zien, maar weinig interessants te beleven. De lunch was dramatisch slecht, het eten was koud en taai. Ondanks in de reservering staat incl frisdrank/koffie werd er gezegd dat we dat niet kregen. Absoluut niet voor herhaling vatbaar, zonde van het geld.
