Tour guides where brilliant, easy going and got involved with everyone, food was also very nice, chicken,fish,salad,rice,banana bread, coconut bread, and can’t forget about the open bar sting drinks well worth the money, seen a turtle and lots of fish, ship wrecks were supercool as well, all in all 10/10

Great from start to finish! We didn’t see any turtles but we saw plenty of sting rays which was really cool. We have seen turtles before in the ocean so wasn’t that bothered if we saw them or not!

Excellent …. Off the beaten track so not too touristy & wonderful views over the sea east of the island. Bikes were easy to use so not exhausted after the half day activity.

It was very interesting and informative. Claudette is extremely knowledgeable and is very passionate about the history of her country.

Great tour a bit off the beaten track, very nice and informative guides, great bikes, nice tour
