Our tour was fantastic, and our guide was amazing—super fun and engaging! This was one of the best boat tours we’ve ever done. I’d love to do another boat tour like this in the future.

The islands are beautiful and the visit to the aquarium very interesting. Our guide did not speak a word of English, too bad our Spanish is not good enough to understand everything.

It was a great experience for both me and my wife. Milton and Nicher were wonderful guises, the food was good and the tour was truly an epic one

Perfect! The Nicher guide is a very good guide, welcoming, who explains everything very well and gives valuable advice!

The trip was a success. The guides were very helpful. I recommend it.
