Had a great time, lots of fun. Only negative things I would have to say is the starting location is not the same as what is listed online. It's not Chez Tino, it's the Ile Aux Cerfs jetty that's a few blocks away. Also online lists the activity as starting at 0815 but we boarded the boat closer to 915-930, just a heads up.

Comfortable and spacious catamaran Crew with little care Incredible lagoon and very rich snorkling Waterfall and macaques as a bonus and a little idleness on the very pleasant deer island

What a wonderful day we had on this boat: - staff super welcoming - food was tasty ! - go service onboard - the tour itself was incredibly beautiful Thanks for this day !!

Well organised trip with super friendly staff, good food (bbq on the boat). We were together with a bunch of local people who had great time and dancing on the boat.

All good, nice crew, nice catamaran, nice food, nice weather, nice trip, nice coordination. Worth the price !
