Gigi & Kevin were the absolute best. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The lunch was great, the vibes were great, definitely worth the time & money. Everything was smooth & our huge party of 9 really enjoyed themselves. I would book this tour over & over & highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great activity to do!

I liked the staff very much very dedicated specially Anna 😁 I think there should be a supply of fresh water on the boat. Also last stop was horrible

Awesome time, the weather got kinda crappy near the end but they made sure to make it a good time regardless

Guide was very professional and helpful during the tour. Beauty of the island made the rest 👌

The guide was very attentive to everyone. We really enjoyed the islands we stopped at.
