Worth the experience - Overall I’ve given it a 4/5 as stunning views of sound and lunch at Lodge beautiful; awesome choice; awesome locale; service etc. the desire is they drop you off at around 11.15 and collect at 3:15pm which is a LONG time if weather not good for swimming or your not wanting to go for a walk from Lodge. I would not go in this tour again because of that fact only.

I felt I got scammed - There is nothing memorable about this trip. The Viator's schedule for return time from the tour supposed to be at 3:00 pm but the local operator said it was 5:00pm. Since I was on a cruise and the ship's departure time is at 5:00pm, we were not able to go with the tour. The local tour operator told us to get a refund from Viator but Viator said no refund, period.
