“Liian kiire joka paikassa ja liikaa ihmisiä. Opas epäselvästi kertoi ajan paikoissa. Snorglaus paikkassa ei mitään katsottavaa ja ihmisiä todellakin liian paljon. Vieri vieressä kymmeniä ihmisiä pienellä alueelle . Ja vielä opas unohti laskea porukat kun lähdettiin luola uinilta ja yksi asiakas jäi matkasta. kuski huomasi virheen ja äkkikäännös takaisin luolille. Mies löytyi luolien edestä ja onneksi oli pelastusliivit päällä, mutta paikalla oli enään kaksi pitkähäntävenettä. Todella huonoa asiakaspalvelua.”
