The tour was fantastic! We didn’t want to bounce around on the crowded speedboats, so we chose the spacious catamaran option instead—and what a great decision that was! The view from the boat and in the water was stunning. The food was also delicious, especially the coconut ice cream, which we got at just the right time in the heat. What we didn’t enjoy as much was having snorkeling time immediately after lunch. It would have been better to cruise a bit first to allow some digestion. Another downside was the frequent and extremely loud Chinese commentary. Overall, we had an amazing time! 🐢🐠🐳
