We had an amazing experience on our tour with Winston as our guide! He was extremely kind, polite, and full of great information throughout the day. We were part of a group of 24 people, and we were lucky that everyone was respectful of time and very friendly. Despite the complexity of the day — with people doing different activities like boat rides, helicopter tours, and cave visits — Winston managed the logistics perfectly. He coordinated pickups and drop-offs so well that everything ran smoothly and everyone made it to their activities on time. We originally booked only the boat tour, but the weather was beautiful and we decided to add the helicopter ride on the spot — and we’re so glad we did! It was truly one of the most breathtaking experiences we’ve ever had. And even with all these activities, we still had plenty of time to eat and explore at a relaxed pace. The transportation was very comfortable, and Winston is a great driver — calm and careful. We couldn’t have asked for
