Dear Ben Shin, Thank you for contacting us! Please be advised that 2 adults + 2 kids (age 11 and 8) can not share 1 cabin thus you would need two cabins and I would arrange a connecting room (1 double + 1 twin beds) for your family. The cost is US$280 for 2 adults and US$238 for 2 kids. For sure that the bus or car can pick up and drop off you at the same hotel. The cost is US$20/person for round trip shuttle bus or US$120 for private 7 seat car. As I have checked, the cabin on your departure date. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards,

Dear Hyerhin, Our La Vela Premium cruise does not include kayaking in its cost and the extra fee is US $10 per person. You can book it in advance when you confirm your reservation. Our guests will do kayaking around Titov Island in the morning of the second day. Best regards,

It was hard for me to choose which one I liked most. La Vela was not our first choice anyway, but the one I picked originally was fully booked so La Vela came up. It turned out it's the best possible trip I could have decided.

Family with children
Average
The boat was full of family passengers with a lot of young children. We also had a young child with us on the cruise. 
 
The behaviour of the children was terrible and neither the parents or the crew did anything about it. For lunch, dinner and breakfast, children were running all through the eating area, shouting and screaming. On at least 3 occasions, either myself or my daughter nearly fell over the children because of their running around.
I mentioned this to the crew several times and they did nothing about it. They didn't speak to the parents at all. 
 
It ruined what would have otherwise been a great weekend away
