Loved the nature and the snorkeling spots. I also liked that they offered us ceviche and tortilla chips. We saw turtles and sting rays and it was so much fun! The tour operator also took very nice and professional pictures. The downside is that they were stupidly expensive, but it’s your choice to get those or not. Price for the trip was fair.
