Over all, it was an enjoyable day. Things that would have made the day better… 1. Advise for participants to bring reef shoes as both swimming areas are heavy with sharp coral. 2. Lesson the music on the return journey as most people on our boat (families, kids, etc) just wanted a quiet return trip. 3. Get rid of the ‘home-made’ alcohol! If something happened on the water and we needed to abandon ship, drunk people are not good swimmers!! 4. Have chilled water on both beaches for participants.

Ce client a réservé via GetYourGuide. À la veille du voyage, tard dans la nuit, il a écrit pour demander un report, ce qui n'est pas conforme aux règles de GYG, étant donné que la demande a été faite moins de 24 heures avant l'activité. Nous avons dirigé le client vers GYG et laissé GYG juger de la question, puisque le client est passé par GYG et que le protocole de GetYourGuide doit nécessairement être respecté. La demande du client n'a pas été prise en compte par GetYourGuide car le client nous donnait différentes versions pour justifier sa demande, une version pour nous et une version totalement différente pour la plateforme... ce qui signifie simplement que ce client mentait et inventait une histoire comme prétexte pour ne pas venir à l'activité et obtenir un remboursement. GetYourGuide a justement jugé que la demande du client n'était pas fondée. Les places du client étaient toujours réservées mais le client était absent et pense maintenant qu'il peut écrire ce qu'il veut pour se venger... alors que nous n'avons rien fait, sauf suivre la procédure correcte.

Disastrous organisation

Catastrophic! We're called in at 8:15 for an 8:45 departure, so to speak. We are parked like cattle at the beach with an organizer who stirs a lot of wind. Happy fucking hell! Finally the departure is at 9:30 am in boats full to the brim which make several return endless. We end up on a full arch catamaran with only six lifejackets. No standards are met, no safety. Arrived on the beach after another long and tedious landing, it's undoing! the meal is just right, the rum arranged infect. after we are made to change islands for the one opposite with again a transfer in crappy boat for 1 hour of beach telling us, be ready to leave at 2 pm. At the hour everyone finds themselves waiting under a hot sun with young children in crisis and parents of the same, they come to pick us up At 2:20 p.m. while they see us waiting for their boat, but they do not care.At the end of the crossing, To top it all off they allow themselves to ask for a tip, really no shame! Of course no one gave anything. In conclusion: Nice islands, but incompetent organizer. Run away, the competition can't get worse

Language malheureusement tres grossier de la part de ce client et deja le language utilisé decrit mieux la personne. On dit au client de venir entre 8.10- 8.30 hr. Hier nous n'avons pas pu sortir a 8.45 hr et apres le feu vert des autorites ( obigatoire ) nous sommes parti a 09.05 hr, mais .... JAMAIS a 9.30 hrs. Le client dit, " Nous sommes parqués comme du bétail à la plage..." Comment est-ce possible???!!! Une plage qui est grand grand grand, qui peut contenir 300 fois plus de monde, comment un client puisse dire qu'il etait "parqués" totalement faux de dire qu'aucune norme n'etait respectee et qu'il n'y avait pas de securite. Le faite que le client ne voit que 6 gilets ne veut nullement dire qu'il n'y avait que 6 gilets. il y a encore 46 autres gilets dans la cabine. Les 6 gilets sont a la portee de la main, si jamais quelqu'un tombe a l'eau. on ne garde jamais 52 gilets sur les sieges ou les passagers doivent s'assoir. Le client dit que les aller retour entre les iles etaient fastidieux....mais alors comment faire. Le client n'avait pas reserve une sortie en PRIVEE ou il y aurait que 2 personnes mais le client avait reserve une sortie commune avec 43 autres personnes et s'il faut faire les aller-retours dans l'eau qui n'est pas profonde, c'est normal que ca prend du temps, sinon comment le faire???!!!!....... Le client dit que l'equipage "demandait" pourboire. Notre personnel n'est guere aussi inelegant pour "DEMANDER " de pourboire.

It was nice

Its an amazing boat cruise, but the guide was giving more details to the French speaking tourist than us English speaking tourist. The 3rd island you just pass it, its not to be stopped at.

poor experience

Too crowded (Too many turns of the small boat to get people on/off the catamaran), no decent place to put your stuff, the music too noisy, schdule and timing instructions were very fluid, we sailed about a hour late and all the time standing waiting on a very hot beach, shoes were raken at the begining so no way you could walk on warm sand and rocks to scout the islands a bit. special dietary food we asked for in reservation was not met. drinks were offered very generously but in used plastic glasses w/o cleaning - so you get a used glass (we can't bear it). The islands themself doesnt worth sailing to. nothing to see even with snorkeling equipment. Coin de mire island is seen from cape malourox beach very nicely. To sum it up, don't. If you must see the islands get a much expensive private boat tour.

Operator response

Review full of false statements. Absolutely false. The customer writes, "The islands themself doesnt worth sailing to." ....but then he concludes saying, " If you must see the islands get a much expensive private boat tour." Yes he ought to take a private tour...but I am sure he would never book a private tour. I know this client. he would find everything expensive. Now how would he be able to pay a private tariff which is 20 times more expensive. However I can bet that even if he did the trip , in private and in FREE, still he would never be satisfied . There are some people like this. Give them the whole earth, they are not hsappy. Give them the whole sky, they are still not happy. Reason is simple
