“A 1.5h relaxing journey around the bridge, at sunset. It was very relaxing, we liked that they had 2 catamarans prepared so they didn't overcrowd us. They've got a good bar inside where you can go get your welcome drink and order more. The music was a playlist, had a nice mix of 80s, 90s, and 2000s music. Don't forget to bring a jacket, after sunset, it got really chilly.”
