Absolutely great! We didn’t use transportation since we had a rental car. There was no parking available at the property, but they said we could park on the street, that it should be safe—that’s where they park as well. As for activities, everything was wonderful. On the way to Tortuga Island, we stopped to see a family of dolphins. When we arrived at the island, those who didn’t want to snorkel stayed on the beach, where there were several different activities available. We did the banana boat ride, which was the highlight for the kids (15 and 16 years old). While at island, No wifi, you can purchase a card for wifi. Plenty of places to get a drink. They take US cash, their currency and credit card. They provided fresh fruit snacks, and then at 12pm lunch. Options of yellow tail tuna , chicken or beef, with rice and salad. And after lunch coffee and cookies. It was a great activity. Also, They have bathrooms, showers and changing rooms at the port for anyone who needs.

We loved it, it exceeded our expectations, and above all, I think the tour guides who work there make the experience so good. In our case, we had Marconi and we were the only two people on the tour. We enjoyed it so much because he loves his job, explains everything, and you can tell he respects the environment and lives with it. 100% recommended. It's also very interesting to learn about the history of cocoa and coffee. The night tour with him was also a great experience because he loves animals and nature and dedicates all the time necessary to make the experience truly fulfilling. We would definitely do it again.

It was great! We had Enrique and he made it eventful, we learned a lot and he kept the energy height and was very funny. We also went during rainy season and are happy to say that the rain did not affect this excursion. You will love it!

We had a great time, not only because of the boat trip, snorkeling, and enjoying the beach, but also because of the atmosphere created by the tour guides and entertainers. Fun and relaxation in equal measure. Don't miss out! 😄

Best tour ever. Nine friends and I went for my birthday and the tour guides made it a memorable and fun time. They made sure we were comfortable, safe, and excited about the tour. 10/10 recommend!
