Tricky to find the meet up site but we had a blast! Plenty of open water to throttle down and avoid boats. We are a couple in our fifties (one with mobility issues) but once you plop down into the boat; it’s so much fun! Don’t sell yourself short by thinking you are too old! If you aren’t a regular boater..definitely experience this adventure!

Very well. This allows you to learn about the city while walking. In addition, nothing prevents you from making detours and resuming the visit later. I recommend.

busch gardens. problem at gates with ticket, post re-scheduling on a weekend, resolved well via WhatsApp chat withJoel

It was great! It wasn't overcrowded, ride wait time were reasonable. Easy to navigate around the park.

The park is very beautiful. Definitely recommendable. I think the animals don't have to be.
