This was a really fun experience! Highly recommend anyone wanting to try something new and to see a lot of the islands. The one star off is because the group that was in my tour didn’t seem to be having that much fun. Me and my friend had a blast.

If you are looking for complete peace and contemplation and don't feel like meeting people - let it be. For everyone else it is a wonderful and perfect way to experience the islands. The team is super nice and always tries to pay attention. The bad reviews are aimed at vendors and masseurs who are not part of the tour. The guides even warn you about them. Be sure to book the VIP Tour and enjoy a great day!

Went in Jun 2022: The tour was amazing. They pick up and drop off at the hotel door, the guide (Ale) is extremely lively, they tell all the stories, myths of the islands, they were super attentive, careful, gave several tips and for the number of things we did, beaches we visited, I thought the excellent price. HIGHLY recommend!
