We enjoyed it but the boat ride took up too much time so in retrospect we would have just visited the Space Centre as we really enjoyed this and were disappointed to have to leave so early.

It was an entertaining experience to Clearwater beach with Adam Rubman. He was way before time, took care of everyone, gave much needed information and trust me you won’t get bored on your Journey. Would definitely recommend tour with him and Gray line tours!
