The cave was cool, but the first snorkeling spot was really bad. Cloudy water, you hardly saw anything. Second spot much better, there was a lot to see. The island where lunch was also good. Here you could relax and take pictures. The guide was super cool. There was plenty and unlimited water on board. Toilet also available on board. Transport in the morning was half an hour late, but OK.

The coordination with the local travel agency was perfect. Instead of the original tour, we did the Escape the Island Tour. We had a lot of fun solving the puzzles. In addition, the guide gave us a lot of information about the country, people and nature. Really good and recommendable.

Very good luck, and kept at times, did not blow too much.Good food and good snorkelling.Not overcrowded boat.Beautiful and avoid long car transport, was picked up directly on the beach outside my hotel, luxurious!

very good guide very enthusiastic. unfortunately the tasting part was too short for me.
