Could have been a better experience if the staff had been more attentive and friendly
We became sea sick on the ferry on our way to the island and the staff were not attentive, it would’ve made our experience a lot better had they checked in on us. We had to find our own way of looking after ourselves. The bus tour was good however we would’ve liked to have more free time to explore the stopovers more, and also at times it was hard to hear the bus driver/tour guide. I think this may have been due to the sound of the air con on the bus. I asked her questions on two occasions and she wasn’t enthusiastic or friendly with her responses, seemed to be in a rush and brushed us off. Would’ve been a more pleasant experience if she had been more friendly. Her name is Rennie.
