Awesome experience

Awesome cruise along the lake, and very informative documentary by our kind guide Tim, during Ruby Island walk. Fantastic views throughout. Highly recommended.

Average experience

We went on a small boat (maybe 25-seater) to the Ruby island, walked around the island for around 30 minutes and back in 5 minutes. The saving grace was Tim, the guide cum boat operators, who gave some good insights about the island and the lake.
