A very nice and atmospheric tour with a pirate ship. The animation was very successful, there was good music and a great atmosphere on the ship. There was a show, dolphin watching in the sea, swimming and sunbathing on Flamingo Island before dinner, horseback riding and quad biking (extra charge). The food was also very tasty, you could choose between chicken and fish. After the meal there was entertainment again, which was coordinated for each language, including German for me. (Was the only German :D) and back on the ship, the return trip was enjoyed to the fullest, celebrated and danced. It was exactly as described and would book the tour again at any time, just great. Kudos to the crew :) (I didn't see any flamingos on the island, but at the port where the ship departed)

Very friendly and local guide as well as the driver gave you an insight into the island that we would never have gotten on our own, highly recommended!

Both the owner of Depart Travel Services and our guide for the day were amazing! We learned so much and had a GREAT time!

Everything was well organized and the food was also very good. Bathing time on the island could be longer.

Such a lovely crew lots of entertainment during the trip!!!! They never get tired!!!!!Amazing job!!!!
