“Great day trip. A bit of confusion when booking as the description had 8am start and only 2 pickup locations with surcharge outside these zones. Please note that hotel pickup is actually included and we were picked up at 9am in a van (Get Your Guide, please update your info online). We had a nice group size of 9 (shared trip) and left pier around 10am. We had 3 beginners in our party who quickly learnt how to use the rods and then lots of fishing time. Not many bites in the morning ( few small fish but enough to thrill the newbies), then onto a local bay for lunch.…”
