On this guided kayak fishing trip from Pasir Ris to Pulau Ubin, you trade city heat for salt air, mangrove shadows, and the steady rhythm of working a line from a stable boat. I really like that the morning is built for action: sit-on-top kayaking off Pulau Ubin, then practical fishing time with a guide steering you toward what to do next.

I also like the human touch. Your guide (including Dominic) stays close for safety, helps you use live bait, and even takes photos of your catches. One thing to consider: lunch isn’t included, so you’ll want to plan snacks or make use of the on-site vending machines.

Key highlights

• Stable sit-on-top kayaks that feel beginner-friendly right from the start
• Live bait + rods + rigs included, so you’re not hunting for supplies
• Small-group focus (capped at 12, with a maximum of 10 travelers) for more personal help
• First Aid and rescue-trained guide for calm, confidence-building coaching
• Kelong fishing experience linked to Singapore’s remaining traditional platforms

Kayak fishing around Pulau Ubin: what makes it feel different

This trip is simple on paper and fun in real life: kayak, fish, repeat. The charm is that you’re not just fishing from a dock. You’re working the line while floating through the kind of waters you’d normally only see by boat.

Pulau Ubin waters are often calmer and beginner-friendly, which matters when you’re learning both balance and technique at once. You get the sea breeze, the mangrove edges, and that quiet “zen with a task” feeling that hits when you’re watching your line instead of screens.

The kelong piece is the big hook. A kelong is a traditional fishing platform, and this experience is specifically framed around Singapore’s last remaining kelongs. Even if you’ve fished before, having the chance to fish in that environment adds a different texture to the day.

From Pasir Ris meet-up to mangroves and jetties

You start at 8:30am at 125 Pasir Ris Rd, Singapore 519121. From there, the flow is designed to get you on the water early and keep things easy. Expect a safety and equipment briefing first, then gear setup before you head out.

Once you’re kayaking, the day’s geography does most of the work for you. You’ll spend the morning exploring around Pulau Ubin, including mangroves and jetties, with guide input to help you fish where the water is most productive. That means you’re not wandering aimlessly with a rod. You’re moving with a plan.

One practical upside: the route and timing can be adjusted based on weather. So even if the sky changes, your guide isn’t just canceling the whole idea right away. You’ll still work toward a safe, comfortable outing.

Kelong fishing: the traditional setting that adds meaning

What you’re fishing around is part of why this tour feels memorable. The experience is marketed as exploring Singapore’s last remaining kelongs before they vanish forever, which gives the trip a sense of urgency and place.

In plain terms, kelong fishing tends to feel removed from modern shore life. The water becomes the workspace, and the platform environment changes what you’ll notice—boat traffic patterns, water depth cues from the way you fish, and the sense that you’re part of a working fishing scene.

If you want a tour that’s more than just “stand here and cast,” this is it. You’ll be moving through natural channels, then shifting to fishing tactics that fit that setting.

Beginner-friendly coaching, not a test

You don’t need experience. The key is that you’re given a real fishing lesson, not a quick demo and a wish of luck.

From the safety and equipment briefing, you’ll get guidance on basic bottom fishing techniques. You’ll also be taught how to use live prawn bait, which is one of the most important skills on this tour. If you’ve never handled live bait before, it can feel awkward at first; a guide helps you get your hands and habits right quickly.

The kayaks also help beginners. These are hands-free, feet-propelled kayaks, which means you can focus on your rod and line instead of paddling like you’re sprint training. It’s a big difference if you’re traveling with kids or you want couples time without one person doing all the work.

In the reviews, people singled out the way guides stay patient and attentive. Dominic came up specifically for being professional and calm, and that kind of demeanor matters when you’re learning two new things at the same time.

The kayaks: comfort and control with Hobie pedal tech

The water part runs on Hobie gear. You’ll use a Hobie Compass Duo kayak that sits two persons, plus a Hobie Standard Mirage Drive with kick up fin (one per person). Each kayak also gets a Hobie hand pedal setup, so the control feel is consistent across your group.

Why you should care: pedal-driven setups reduce fatigue. You’re more likely to stay steady and pay attention to fishing than to fight for forward motion. The kick up fin is also useful in real-world waters where the bottom can surprise you.

You’ll get ISO certified personal floatation devices, and the trip includes stable “sit-on-top” design. Translation: you’re not stuck in a cramped cockpit, and you’re not expected to be a pro swimmer.

Fishing gear and tackle: included, practical, and ready

This tour gives you the gear you’d otherwise have to rent or buy. You’ll use a Shimano fishing rod and reel, and you’ll be provided fishing rigs and sinkers that you replace as you go.

A few details make this more practical than many “activity” fishing tours:

• You get a landing net (one per kayak), which helps when you hook something that needs careful handling
• There’s a baitbox and fish stringer, so your catch and live bait aren’t a messy scramble
• You get storage to keep belongings dry, plus lockers on-site

Your guide can help you adjust technique during the session. That makes the gear feel like a tool you understand, not just equipment you’re holding.

Live bait and bottom fishing: what you’re actually doing

The core fishing technique here is bottom fishing. That means your bait and rig are meant to reach feeding zones near the seabed rather than staying up near the surface.

The tour specifically teaches you how to use live prawn bait, and that’s the part that usually makes the difference between a “try it once” experience and a session where you actually learn. Live bait has a different presentation than cut bait, and the way you handle it matters.

During the trip, your guide advises where to fish and helps you use what’s included. You’ll also have photos taken of your catches, which is a nice touch if you’re traveling and want proof that you did something hands-on.

Even if you don’t land a trophy fish every time, this format still teaches you how to approach the task: rig setup, bait handling, and how to read what’s happening at the line.

Small-group pace: capped at 12, max 10 in practice

Group size affects everything on a learning tour. Here, the operator promises numbers capped at 12 for personal attention, while the activity listing notes a maximum of 10 travelers. Either way, you’re not standing in a long line waiting for help.

With fewer people, your guide can correct your technique quickly and check safety without rushing. It also means the kayaking feels more social and less like a conveyor belt.

This is also why photos feel natural. A small group makes it easier for the guide to walk the line between instruction and capturing the moment.

Taking your catch home: icebox, stringer, and timing

You’ll get an icebox for your catch so you can keep fish ready to take home. The tour also includes a fish stringer and a baitbox, which helps you manage the session without chaos.

If you’re wondering how realistic it is to bring fish back, the tour is clearly built around that goal. The experience includes the tools you need to store and transport responsibly during the outing.

Do keep expectations practical. You’re fishing a natural environment with live bait and basic bottom fishing gear, so results can vary. But the structure is there to make sure your efforts don’t end the moment the session ends.

What to pack for a 6-hour outing

You’ll be on the water for about 6 hours, so plan for sun, spray, and a bit of waiting while lines do their work.

The tour provides storage and lockers, plus toilet and hot shower facilities on-site. That’s a genuine quality-of-life win if you want to keep traveling afterward without feeling grimy.

Bring cash and coins if you want snacks or drinks from the 24-hour vending machines. Lunch isn’t included, so treat this as a half-day plan where you either eat before you come or plan to grab snacks while you’re waiting between fishing sets.

Also, dress for wet. Even in “calm waters,” the sea finds ways to land on you.

Weather and safety: calm waters, flexible timing

This activity requires good weather. The guides are trained and equipped to handle all weather conditions, and the route and timing may be adjusted based on conditions for safety and comfort.

In extreme weather, the tour may be postponed, and you’ll be informed in advance. That’s the right approach for a kayaking + live bait setup where stability matters.

A key comfort detail: the guide has First Aid and rescue training. When you’re on a small craft, knowing that the person running your safety plan is trained changes the feel of the day from “sport” to “managed adventure.”

Price check: is $117.09 good value?

At $117.09 per person for about 6 hours, the value comes from what’s included, not just the activity name.

You get:

• Kayak + life jacket (PFD) setup
• Pedal-driven Hobie kayak system
• Shimano rod and reel, plus rigs and sinkers
• Live bait
• Guide instruction and safety coverage
• Photos of the experience and your catches
• Icebox storage for take-home fish

When you add all that up, you’re paying for a guided day that bundles equipment, bait, and learning. That typically costs more if you try to DIY it in Singapore.

If you compare it to a basic fishing trip without gear, bait, and coaching, this stands out for being an all-in lesson. And if you’re traveling with family, small-group help reduces wasted time and boosts the chance that everyone actually enjoys the experience.

Who this tour suits best

This is a strong pick for:

• Couples who want hands-on time and photos without a strict “tour bus” vibe
• Families with kids aged 7 and above, as long as they come with an adult
• First-timers who want structured instruction, not trial-and-error
• People who like practical nature time: mangroves, water movement, and working a line

It’s also a good option if you want a new hobby. The session format is set up so you come away knowing what to do next time.

Should you book the kayak fishing tour in Pasir Ris and Pulau Ubin?

If you want a day that mixes gentle physical effort with real skills, I’d book this. The combo of stable pedal kayaks, beginner-friendly coaching, and included live bait + gear keeps the barrier low while still feeling like an actual fishing outing.

Skip it only if you’re counting on lunch being part of the package, or if you dislike being outdoors in salt air for several hours. Otherwise, this is exactly the kind of Singapore experience that feels grounded in place: mangroves, kelongs, and a guide who makes the learning part feel doable.

Plan on about 4 hours on the water, and take sea-sickness prevention seriously if you’re prone—especially when conditions aren’t calm.

Key Highlights Before You Go

• Lazarus Island first stop: quick scenery change right after boarding, then straight into offshore fishing mode.
• Beginner-to-intermediate coaching: you get techniques matched to different fish you’re aiming for.
• A real offshore fish target list: groupers, snappers, breams, tusk fish, trevallies, and more.
• Two-part Southern Islands itinerary: time split between Lazarus and wider southern offshore waters.
• Catch prep for bringing home: the crew handles the work so you don’t have to guess what to do next.
• Chop and expectations: fish results depend on the water that day, and rougher seas can change the feel of the trip.

Why Southern Islands Yacht Fishing Is a Great Singapore Add-On

If you only do city stuff in Singapore, you’ll miss a different side of the country. This kind of offshore trip gives you open water views, real wind in your face, and a simple goal: learn fishing and try to land species common to the region.

What makes this experience practical is the coaching structure. You’re not just tossed onto a boat with a rod. Guides from My Fishing Frenzy Academy support you as you learn techniques for different fish types—so even if you’re brand-new, you’ll leave knowing what to try next time.

One more detail I appreciate: you’re fishing Singapore’s southern offshore areas, where the day feels different than near-shore sightseeing. It’s a nice change of pace when you’re already doing museums, malls, and food streets.

The ONE15 Marina Sentosa Cove Start: Where Your 9:00 AM Day Begins

You start at ONE15 Marina Sentosa Cove, 11 Cove Drive, #01-01, Sentosa Cove, Singapore 098497, and the trip begins at 9:00 am. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, so you’re not stuck figuring out an end location.

This start point matters more than it seems. Marinas tend to be easier when you arrive with buffer time, not at the last second. Since the tour uses a mobile ticket, I’d set a reminder and keep your phone charged—marina check-in can be fast, and you don’t want battery anxiety.

Also, it’s near public transportation, which helps if you don’t want to deal with rideshares. You’ll still want comfortable shoes for walking on and around a marina deck.

4 Hours Afloat: What the Crew Has You Practicing

The whole experience runs about 4 hours on the water. In that window, the trip focuses on learning how to fish in open offshore spots, not just standing still and hoping.

Expect your guides to help you understand:

• how to approach fishing in offshore waters
• what technique makes sense for different target species
• how to improve as you get bites and learn what works

This is the part beginners usually love. If you’re new, you get to ask questions and build confidence step by step. If you’ve fished before, you can still pick up adjustments for local species and offshore conditions.

If you’re hoping for a nonstop fishing party, you should still know how these trips work. Fish activity can vary by day, and offshore weather can change the rhythm. The best mindset is: learn a few techniques, enjoy the boat time, and treat the catch as a bonus when conditions cooperate.

Stop 1: Lazarus Island—A First Taste of Southern-Waters Views

The first scheduled stop is Lazarus Island. This is a strong opening because it quickly shifts you from “getting ready” to “out on the water and fishing.”

Here’s why that first stop is valuable: it sets the pace of the day. You’ll have time to settle, get used to the boat motion, and start practicing whatever technique the guides decide makes sense first. For beginners, that early momentum can be the difference between a nervous start and a confident one.

If you’re sensitive to motion, pay attention to how you feel during the boat ride to the area. One practical move: take sea-sickness prevention about 30 minutes before boarding if you think you’ll need it. That advice is worth following, not just reading.

Stop 2: Southern Islands Waters—Where the Captain Looks for the Bite

After Lazarus, the trip moves into the broader Southern Islands fishing area with the captain directing where to fish. This second phase is where the offshore strategy really comes into play.

The captain’s role matters because offshore fishing is less about one magic trick and more about conditions. You’re targeting fish species common in the region, and the captain helps place you where the day’s chances are better.

This is also where your technique learning pays off. The guides are there to explain what to try for different fish types, and you’ll get to see how the approach changes as the day goes on.

If you end up with good action, you’ll likely spend the rest of the trip feeling like you understand what’s happening. If the bite is slower, the same coaching still helps because you’re not just waiting—you’re learning what to adjust.

The Fish Species Plan: Groupers, Snappers, Breams, and More

The day targets a clear list: groupers, snappers, breams, tusk fish, trevallies, and more. That “and more” part matters because it hints the crew is adapting to what’s actually available that day.

Even if you’re not chasing a specific species, having targets is useful. It stops the experience from feeling random. Instead of fishing with no context, you’re practicing techniques aimed at different outcomes.

The coaching angle here is key for value. If you’re a complete beginner, you’ll get a map of how offshore fishing tends to work locally. If you’ve fished before, you can refine your approach for species that behave differently than what you’re used to.

At the end of the outing, the crew prepares your catch so you can bring it home. That’s not just a nice perk—it saves you from the “now what?” problem many outdoor experiences create.

Join-In Experience, Private Group: How the Social Side Works

This is described as a join-in fishing trip, but it also notes it’s private for your group, meaning only your group participates. So you get a social benefit without the feeling of being mixed into a chaotic crowd.

That balance is ideal if you’re traveling with friends, as a couple, or solo and you want a guided structure. You’re unlikely to be stuck “performing” like you’re in a big group activity where you never get questions answered.

It also helps the guide dynamic. When the group size is manageable, coaching tends to be more personal. The goal is beginner confidence, and that takes attention.

Value Check: Is $103.81 Worth It?

At $103.81 per person for about four hours, the value really comes from what you’re getting beyond the boat ride.

Here’s what you’re paying for:

• a guided offshore fishing plan with coaching support
• instruction on techniques for different target fish
• time on Singapore’s southern waters, not just generic time offshore
• the crew prepping what you catch to bring home

If you’ve ever done fishing trips where you felt like a passenger instead of a participant, this one is positioned more like a lesson with a chance to catch fish. That can be worth the price even when you don’t land everything on the target list, because you leave knowing what to try next time.

If you’re only interested in maximum fish volume and don’t care about learning, you might find the cost harder to justify. In other words: it’s a fishing experience built around improvement, not guaranteed action.

Comfort Tips That Actually Matter (Sea, Rain, and Deck Reality)

This is where I’d be practical, not optimistic.

Sea-sickness help: the guidance is clear—take sea-sickness pills about 30 minutes before boarding if you’re not used to long periods on a boat. If you know your body gets queasy fast, don’t wait until you feel bad.

Rain gear: you should prepare a raincoat. Offshore weather can shift, and keeping dry makes the experience easier on your hands, your clothes, and your mood.

Wave expectations: offshore days can bring chop. Even if the crew handles things professionally, the boat motion affects how comfortable you feel and how easy it is to fish. If you’re sensitive, consider bringing a calm mindset and planning to focus on learning rather than fighting for perfect casting form.

Who Should Book This, and Who Should Skip It

I think this trip is best for you if:

• you’re a beginner or returning angler who wants guidance
• you like structured activities where someone explains the “why,” not just the “how”
• you want a fun Singapore offshore day with a take-home outcome
• you’re traveling solo or with a small group and want a friendly, supported vibe

I’d think twice if you’re an experienced fisher chasing constant action with zero patience for instruction. The format is built around learning techniques and adapting to offshore conditions, so the experience can feel slower if you’re expecting nonstop bites.

Should You Book This Yacht Fishing Experience?

If your goal is a hands-on offshore fishing day with beginner support, this is an easy yes. The combination of My Fishing Frenzy Academy coaching, targeted offshore species, and the end-of-trip catch prep makes it feel like more than a sightseeing boat.

Book it when you can follow the comfort basics: sea-sickness prevention, a raincoat, and a realistic mindset about fish results. If you want a guaranteed haul or you hate any boat motion, you might be happier with a different type of fishing outing.

What happens to the fish you catch?

The crew prepares your catches so you can bring them home and enjoy afterward.

What if the weather is poor?

If the trip is canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

I love that it feels like a lesson, not just a ride: the crew shows you how to set up, how to fish, and how to respond when something bites. I also love the chef side of the experience, because your fish gets cleaned and cooked for you instead of turning into a sad cooler story.

One thing to plan for: your catch can be slower on days when weather and tide aren’t cooperating, so your results may vary even if you follow the instructions closely.

Key Points You Should Know Before You Go

• A private tour/activity setup: only your group participates, with a dedicated crew teaching you along the way.
• All fishing gear is provided: rod and reel (with accessories), plus bait and bottled water on board.
• Catch, then chef-clean and grill: after you fish, you get help cleaning your catch and then eating it grilled.
• You’ll fish around the southern islands, with Lazarus Island as a listed stop.
• Bring rain protection and plan for the sea: raincoat isn’t included, and seasick pills are not included either.

A Yacht-Based Fishing Lesson With a Real Payoff

This isn’t the kind of fishing trip where you spend the morning hoping for the best and then figure out dinner later. The whole flow is designed around an actual result: you go out to fish, you clean up with help, and then you eat the fish you caught, grilled.

I also like the way this experience is structured for people who are new to fishing. The crew’s approach is practical and patient, with instruction that focuses on helping you participate rather than just standing by while someone else reels in the catch. Names like Raymond and Matt show up in past praise for host-and-teach energy, along with service mentioned from crew such as Rizal and Dayana.

The “private tour” part matters. You’re not sharing your learning time with strangers in a chaotic free-for-all. That usually means you get clearer answers to your questions and more time to actually practice your line.

The Catch-and-Cook Flow: From Rod to Chef-Grilled Fish

Here’s what you’re really paying for: the experience includes the steps people usually have to piece together on their own. That means you don’t need to find gear, plan bait, or book a place to clean and cook your catch.

Your catch-and-cook sequence typically works like this:

• You fish using your rod and bait (equipment is included).
• Once fish come up, there’s help with fish cleaning.
• Then you sit down for chef-prepared grilled fish, using what you caught.

This matters even if you’re not sure you’ll catch anything. When the chef service is part of the package, the day has a strong finish. Past diners have specifically highlighted how good the prepared food was, with comments calling it master chef level. That’s the kind of detail that makes the whole outing feel complete rather than “fun, but only if the fish cooperate.”

And for first-timers, the most valuable part is usually the instruction at the water. In past trips, the crew didn’t just hand over the rod; they taught people how to fish and helped troubleshoot when something wasn’t working.

Lazarus Island and the Southern-Island Fishing Time

The plan includes Stop 1 at Lazarus Island, and the fishing itself happens out at sea around the southern islands of Singapore. In other words, expect boat time plus fishing time, not just a quick line-cast in a harbor.

What makes this portion appealing is the mix of scenery and hands-on activity. You’re on the water looking back at Singapore from a different angle, and you’re doing something active instead of sightseeing from a seat the whole time. If you like the idea of learning while you watch the coastline slide by, this has that sweet spot.

One reality check: fishing can be slower depending on conditions. A slow day can still be fun, but it shifts the emphasis toward learning, patience, and technique. There’s at least one clear example from past outings where the catch was slower due to weather and tide, yet people still caught fish and described the crew as friendly and instructional.

If your goal is maximum fish-in-the-bucket odds, you’ll want to keep expectations flexible. If your goal is a guided half-day on the water where you learn something and get a satisfying meal at the end, this setup fits well.

What’s Included (So You Don’t Over-Pack Your Day)

The inclusions are one of the best value signals here. You’re not showing up and discovering you need to rent rods, buy bait, or pay extra to process your catch.

Included in your tour:

• Fishing rod and reel, plus accessories
• Bottled water on board
• Bait
• Fish cleaning and chef service (the meal part)

Not included (so bring these if you need them):

• Raincoat
• Seasick pills

That might sound like a small list, but it’s the difference between a smooth day and a miserable one. Singapore weather can shift quickly, and half-day boat trips can test your stomach even if you’re usually fine on land.

Also, you’ll use a mobile ticket, which is handy on the day of travel. Less paper, less fuss, more time to focus on the important part: getting your line in properly and listening for the crew’s tips.

Boat Comfort: Seasickness, Weather, and the Simple Things That Matter

If you’re not used to long periods on a boat, take the sea-sickness part seriously. The guidance here is straightforward: take seasick pills about 30 minutes before boarding. They’re not included, so plan ahead if you think you might feel queasy.

Weather is another big factor. This experience requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s the right safety approach for an out-at-sea activity.

Rain is a separate issue. You’ll be glad you brought a raincoat, since it’s not included. Even light rain can make everything feel longer, and being wet on a boat can drain your energy fast. I’d rather pack a cheap fold-up coat than spend the day shivering and distracted.

Finally, remember that fishing results depend on the water. When tide and conditions slow the bite, the best move is to trust the process and keep practicing what the crew teaches. Past trips specifically praised the way the crew shared their experience and knowledge instead of just letting people reel in randomly.

The Price and Value: What $120.30 Covers in Real Terms

At $120.30 per person for about 4 hours, the price only makes sense if you treat it like a package deal, not a basic fishing outing.

Why? Because the cost isn’t just for the boat ride. You’re also getting:

• Included fishing gear (rod, reel, accessories)
• Bait and bottled water
• Fish cleaning help
• Chef service and grilled fish

If you were to recreate that day on your own, you’d likely spend time and money coordinating multiple parts: charter access, gear rental, bait, and then cooking/processing your catch. Here, those parts are bundled into one half-day experience that ends with a proper meal.

Timing can also matter for value. This trip is often booked around 49 days in advance, which suggests people plan it as a set activity rather than a last-minute gamble. If your schedule allows, booking earlier tends to give you more date options.

The tour’s rating also helps you judge confidence. It comes in at 4.9 out of 5 based on 52 reviews, with 98% recommended. That’s strong signal that the experience lands well on the basics: instruction quality, friendliness of the crew, and the food finish.

Private Group Energy: Who This Experience Fits Best

This is a great match if you want hands-on learning and you like structure. The “private tour/activity” style means the crew can adapt to your group’s pace, whether that’s true beginners or people who want a refresher on technique.

It also works well for special occasions. Past participants have mentioned everything from family bonding trips to milestone moments like wedding anniversaries and proposals. Even if you’re not planning a big event, the private format helps your group stay connected instead of splitting attention across a bigger mix of people.

Who should go:

• Beginners who want guided instruction rather than trial-and-error
• Food-minded travelers who want their day to end with what they catch
• People who enjoy being on the water and don’t mind that fishing depends on conditions

Who might reconsider:

• If you’re the type who needs guaranteed action (fish on every cast) regardless of tide or weather, you’ll want to adjust expectations. On slower days, you’re still there to learn and eat well, but the catch may not match your ideal.

Practical Meeting Point and Timing (Without the Stress)

You’ll meet at ONE15 Marina Sentosa Cove Singapore – Mastercard Pitstop, address 11 Cove Drive, #01-01, Sentosa Cove, Singapore 098497. The listed start time is 9:00 am, and the activity ends back at the meeting point.

Because you’re heading out by yacht, plan to arrive with a little buffer. You’re not just showing up for a casual activity; you’re getting ready for boat time, fishing setup, and then cleaning and cooking. If rain is in the forecast, your raincoat becomes part of that prep.

If you book close to your travel date, confirmations can come later (with a note that confirmation is received within 48 hours subject to availability when booked within 3 days). So if you like certainty, book earlier when you can.

Should You Book This Catch-and-Cook Fishing Trip?

I think you should book it if you want a half-day in Singapore that combines three things most city activities don’t: real local water time, actual instruction, and a satisfying meal using your catch. The included gear, the bait and water, and the chef/grill finish make the day feel whole, not unfinished.

I’d skip it only if your top priority is guaranteed fish volume. This trip is weather- and tide-dependent, and the day’s pace can change. If that variability sounds annoying, you might prefer something where success is less tied to natural conditions.

If you want a fun, teach-me style adventure with a strong payoff at the end, this one is worth your attention—especially with the high recommendation rate and consistent praise for friendly, patient crew help.

Is this a private experience?

Yes. It’s listed as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates.
