it's a great way to get away from the crowds of the tourist hot spots and seeing the world from the water gives a different perspective.

This trip met all my expectations, and everything went very smoothly, even if not entirely according to plan! There wasn't a moment where I felt unsafe or unsure of what was happening or going to happen.
