A beautiful experience, well worth the cost! Only addition (minor) could have been some complimentary nibbles/a drink but there was opportunity to get lunch at one of the stops. The beaches were absolutely beautiful and our host Antonia was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and catered for multiple languages. Fantastic experience

Excellent value for money! Our guide, Miguel, put 110% into giving us the full experience. We enjoyed learning about the wildlife, history of the islands, as well as swimming in the lagoon and driving the boat. Miguel was very accommodating and fun. We had lunch on the second island and can’t recommend enough! The fish was lovely and fresh and customer service was really good.

Friendly & knowledgeable guide. Good knowledge of local birds, fauna and the environment. Much nicer spending quality time on two islands rather than racing to all five. Lots of exploration time, and opportunity for a great lunch. Safety 5 star. Boat presentation 5 star. Highly recommended.
