The water level was unfortunately a bit low, but the tour still went well and Benjamin guided us well. We chose this tour because our little one couldn't swim yet. The scenery was absolutely stunning and highly recommended. However, the tour was very easy. Next time we would definitely choose the slightly more challenging tour.
