She kept us informed about timings and the meeting point prior to the trip. Once on the hike she was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Once we arrived on the summit we was lucky enough to watch the sunrise without any obstruction from clouds and mist. What a surreal experience to have a coffee, which Nat provided, whilst watching the sunrise over the beautiful coastline. Thanks Nat for making this an amazing experience for my wife and I.”

La balade en bateau était très jolie c’était super sympas par contre le temps de navigation est de même pas 2h alors qu’il y a marqué 3h30 sur l’annonce et le buffet au vue du prix n’était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. De plus ils mettent couché du soleil et nous sommes rentrés bien avant le coucher du soleil. Vraiment très déçus sur ces points. Le concept est quand même tres sympas mais trop cher au vue de la prestation. La photo est la dernière que j’ai prise avant de quitter le navire! Qui témoigne…”
