Really enjoyed this tour, the ride in the long boat was beautiful, our guide and his team really took care to ensure we knew the schedule and that everyone was back on boat the boat after each island visit. There was a good amount of time spent at each island and the lunch was really delicious.

Absolutely lovely!! The fact that they come and pick you up and drop you off after the activity is a plus. The overall activity was great, and the sunset was amazing. The dinner was okay, a bit cold but fine!

It was a great experience, our guide Sith & Whip were awesome & help & guide us in every way. People on the boat was super nice. Everything was nicely planned.

I love this tour and the team was lovely, very friendly and nice with us. I am now taking another trip with this amazing team Go Sea Eagle Tour
