Traveler reviews
Rob Graham
★★★★★a year agoDefinitely worth a visit. Now world heritage listed, this location is a wonderful place of tranquility in a large metropolitan footprint. Extremely busy with tourist and locals alike all enjoy the views of this expansive body of water. The boats look old, but are very safe, solid, seaworthy and well built.
