“Boat overcrowded. I counted 33 people on our boat. Not everyone had a place to sit as sitting in the front is not really an option. People had to move to the back of the boat after hitting some really big waves. Some people had to stand since there was no room. Disappointing since we had a tour the prior day with a different company that set the bar high. The floating village was unique and liked all the stops. Maybe book with a different company. Nothing was wrong but nothing was great.”
