We dont just watch a sunset on our exciting tour. We like to do alot more optional experiences such as swimming, exploring bays which we stop at and fishing. After departing we take our time making our way to Radical Bay seeing many sights. We have then the option to leave the vessel to swim and explore as we land on the beach. We also give you the option to swim with many fish and we give you a mask to view them. Fishing is always best before dark so we also like to troll some lures with a chance of catching a big one. All this is optional but taking in a breath taking sunset is mandatory. A very unique tour we are proud of.
