What ~3.5 hours ashore gets you
A small expedition ship: guests are usually out on the ship’s own programme, so independent plans have the port to themselves.
No guided tour from this port has a start time that fits this clock with the hour before all-aboard kept free — on foot is the plan: 4 hours ashore.
