Fantastic way to get out on the water and see some of the sights! We had a fantastic couple of stops to snorkel and explore a white sandy beach and the food was fantastic. The music and overall vibe was great too. The only feedback I’d give is that we needed a bit more beach time!

The activity is exactly what is stated, the private waiting area before boarding was great to get out of the hustle. They accommodate for English and Spanish speaking and explain each location in both so you won’t miss out on information. One thing they could add is how long each stop will be, at stages we weren’t sure if we had time for another swim after sun baking. The boat does honk its horn before departing The lunch was amazing, fresh salad and fruit with choice of seafood or chicken or vegetarian with rice. The chef loads your plate and if you want more salads you can help yourself to more (not that you’ll need a second plate, we were soo full) The alcohol was priced accordingly but free soft drinks, water and juice were great. Plus having the payments made by card is super handy. I would recommend booking this.

The boat trip was overall a nice experience. We had the chance to swim and do some snorkeling, which was fun and refreshing. The food was very good — both the seafood rice and the buffet were tasty and well-prepared. The atmosphere on board was relaxed, and the scenery was beautiful. However, I would have appreciated it more if the staff had given some explanations about the places we were visiting, especially when we docked. It would have added more value to the excursion. Unfortunately, they didn’t say anything.
