WJ Flett5.0VerifiedFantastic trip!
Special 7 hours trip for WJ Flett on December 19, 2025 • 6 adultsWe had such a great time with this crew, on the boat and the onshore booking agents! My 10yr old son and I will never forget this. They looked after- and accommodated us (as total rookies/newbies) in an amazing way! Thank you to Ansie, Francois and Nico! Would recommend using them in a heartbeat!
