Simply outstanding. You would never guess what a legend the guy is from his demeanour. The whole trip radiates 'no stress'. Highly recommended — I will be going again!

What a fascinating and active trip. Conrad literally shows you the ropes and then helps you get stuck in whilst telling tales of the Bounty, Blythe, and his own adventures. Well worth it!
