This was a fantastic tour from beginning to end. The guide who picked us up was great, giving us information about sites that we passed. The boat out to the island was comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. The water was beautiful and perfect temperature. Swimming with the turtles was the highlight. The second swim stop was more for swimming than snorkelling as there wasn’t much to see but it was still great. The packed lunch was great and there was plenty of food and drinks for everyone.

Getting to the island was a bit long. But still had a great day. A lot of dolphins and turtles etc. The food was very tasty and very tasty. Boat trip was great, even on the way back he showed us a lot of things worth seeing. Went with my grandkids who loved it

My trip delivered both dolphins (from the boat) and Hawksbill turtles (snorkeling) so I was happy. A hat should be added to the "what to take" list since there's no cover from the sun on the island we stopped at for lunch unless you stay on the boat. Trip arrangements went smoothly.
