Unfortunately, the weather was not in our favor, but we tried to take it positively. We were lucky enough to see whales. We swam/sunbathed on a beautiful snow-white sandy beach. The horseback riding was a good idea, the locals accompanied us, they were very cute/kind, as we got deep into the jungle, a magnificent waterfall greeted us, so we took some nice pictures. The more adventurous even took a dip at the waterfall. The program included 2 meals. Soft drinks/alcoholic drinks were also available. They delivered from house to house. They also took pictures of the group, but this was for an additional fee. Thank you for the unforgettable experience🇩🇴🙏 Laci&Reni🇭🇺

The outing in the mangrove was superb. It's just beautiful. We took our time in a movie set. Impeccable duration, very nice guide. Short walk to the Arena cave that we had already done but this time we were alone! And the guide took the time to explain to us and showed us parts that we had not seen 🤩 The meal is very good, a real restaurant. Finally for the swimming pools it will be for a next lack of time and also because of the weather. A torrential rain turned the water brown 😮 Thanks to Barbara and the team on site for organizing this day. I highly recommend 👍

It rained a little and that affected the landscape a little bit... but the excursion is beautiful... the guide was super attentive at all times, 10/10... from the bus driver who picked us up, the boat drivers who are super friendly, the whole team does an excellent job so that you can enjoy this trip... without a doubt unforgettable.

It was a perfect tour! Definitely highly recommended if you are in the area. Vincent was very nice and funny and really looked after our well-being. A highlight of our vacation!

The crew on the boat was very helpful and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed this trip.
