On board you will receive a thermal coverall to protect you from the elements during the activity. Choose to take the tour on a 2.5 hour express boat or a full 3.5 hour tour.

Inside the boat you can stay on deck or in the inner observation deck where you can stay in a warmer temperature with heating and buy snacks or hot drinks.

    The guide also took excellent photographs, so when we clicked on the website we were able to keep them for free.
