530代Month of posting: 2024/07It was a wonderful tour for three generations, from little kids to grandparents! Cruising on the Sabani was more thrilling than I expected, and the experience of feeling the sea breeze was really great. The snorkeling is also safe for beginners as they teach you how to snorkel in the shallows with care.
