great trip. Guides were super nice, Maurice has very good English and made an effort to ensure we understand and to just get to know us. The full trip was as described. it's an island stay in huts there was short waiting times in between pick up which made sense and we had no issues with timing/organisation. As a vegetarian I was able to have beans instead of meat for nearly all dinners. the response via the app to messages was also prompt!

I really liked the activity. It can appear little hectic at times but guides know everything. Too many moving pieces, but things work out at the end. I liked Pelicano island the most, although it was the most rustic island of them all. My advice bring the flashlight. The cabins dont have AC but the air was breezy and it was so nice sleeping there.

Everything went perfectly with transportation and organisation. We visited 6 islands and two sandbanks but also got enough time to chill on the last day. Food was ok, except one evening, when they forgot I’m vegetarian. The places we visited and stayed were marvellous, defenitely worth to go. It was a shame that a cruise ship docked on the second day (obviously this is not the organization‘s fault). We think cruise ships should be banned from docking on these islands.
