The guides were very friendly and looked after everyone wonderfully. The catamaran was in good condition. The food was good and plentiful. The provider was also very easy to reach when we had to say that we were stuck in traffic and would be a little late. If you are traveling on your own, be sure to allow more time, as the roads are particularly congested in the mornings due to rush hour traffic. Huge praise!
