Although the trip itself was wonderful, I found the stop at lunch a bit too long. It was a 2 hour and 30 minutes stop, but it’s only a smaller area with a bar and a little food. Other than that the trip was amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to swim while seeing a beautiful scenerey”
