“Excellent food and service. Canapes and drinks were a-plenty on the cruise and the 2hr boat trip was relaxing and enjoyable spotting animals on the way. The dinner and atmosphere at the Eatery restaurant was divine and again no extra cost for drinks. Sitting by the water at the fire pit after dinner was a beautiful way to end our wonderful experience. Highly recommend this.”

We loved the interactive aspect of this dinner, especially the cocktail and empanada making. We also loved getting to chat with the other guests there as well. 10/10 recommend and will go back if we get the chance!!”
