    It was a great experience for myself and my family, we really enjoyed the boat cruise. The captain shared some great memories with us about the rich history of the luxury boat water front. He is such a friendly guy and passionate about his job.

    We were in Thami's boat and he was so amazing, he took such nice pictures of us as a family. The lagoon is nice but it's small. All in all the boat cruise was well worth it.

    Itumeleng_S, Dec 2023
    Siya the Captain of the Boat is a magnificent individual and goes over and above to make you enjoy the experience. He is very much familiar with the route and stops or even reverses the boat to make you get the perfect shot of your cruise experience. I would definitely recommend the boat cruise anytime, infact I am coming back with other people. Incredible experience.
