Fantastic to cram everything in but my recommendation would be to almost spend an extra day in MV. A lot of things were closed or closing but on the flip side far less busy with tourists so a bonus. Tour guide on MV was excellent but it was an early start so could have done without the running commentary on the way to MV to have a snooze!

The speed of the guide could improve to explain the tours, it is very fast, short time to take photographs or purchase souvenirs especially in the indigenous area, where there are interesting elements to appreciate and beautiful landscapes with a lighthouse, hills, beaches.

Karen – United StatesOctober 1, 2023 – Verified booking
The van seat and leg room was not comfortable. The guide was excellent. We were told to arrive early for the boat back. We the crowd all arrived 35 min early because everyone wanted to get an inside seat back. We all waited in the freezing cold and wind with no shelter. The boat arrived about 3:28 and left at 3:30.
