Tour tomorrow, 8 hrs, the guide (friendly) comes to pick me up with another person, they only take you walking to the Turtle Bay beach, 11hrs ends, and we wanted to return by boat, we had to pay 10S. We could have done it on our own. That the other part of the tour starts Alas 2 pm, I have to eat and drink on my own. Then it was said that the tour was on a yacht, it is a small boat, full of 16 people, who had paid 36 S for this 2 part in local agency. Pay € 152. For full tour. A true deception.

Basically this is two separate tour with different operators. The morning tour was good and informative, but the afternoon one was disappointing. The so called yacht tour was just a boat ride, and the tour guide most of the time spoke Spanish. The itinerary was also confusing and at the end of the day, I was not sure which place I have been visited
