Loved the history! Loved the kindness and enthusiasm and all the places we went. Would have loved if one of our guides also got in the water and showed us around snorkeling in the water. Wasn’t sure where to go or how long to stay. Enjoyed it and would rec but being guided in the water would have been a plus!
