Went on the goat boat tour today with my son and nephew. The kids were blown away by the speed the boat went! Seeing porpoises was a highlight for me. The scenery is spectacular, even on a dull November day. Thanks for a wonderful experience guys, you were both friendly and very informative. Would highly recommend
