Amazing experience! The boat sailing was sooooo beautiful and peaceful. Lots of room on the nets, sides of the boat, or top of it for everyone to spread out and find a perfect spot with a view. The stop at the island to snorkle, swim, or walk along the beach was lovely and also a perfect time to take boat pics while less people were on it haha! The water and beach were so beautiful, clean, and special to explore. The meal provided was yummy and there was a lot to it/ it was very filling. The open bar was great and drinks were yummy- they could make whatever you wanted. The crew was friendly, professional, informative, took family pics for us all, and kept us safe! OH and we also saw DOLPHINS!! One of the best days of the trip! Would recommend to anyone.

We had an awesome time. The crew on board was terrific. Very attentive and informative. I’m prone to sea sickness but had no issues whatsoever. The drinks were plentiful and the food was delicious. They really let us see the full sunset. A couple of people onboard had mobility issues but the crew made certain that they were made to feel comfortable about boarding and disembarking. Snorkelling was fun and you had a lot of time to do it.

Guillermo went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. We had the best time!!

Amazing tour. Our tour guide Oscar was very knowledgeable and made the tour even better!

Loved it had a great time and definitely would recommend to anyone
