It could have been better

You don't have guides, you just buy the tickets for the locations, they leave you alone with other people, the ones who explain are the boatmen and a gentleman arriving at each destination, from there you are on your own discovering the locations....

The experience was unique from the pickup to the meeting; the guide was very kind in teaching the island culture. I would return, thanks to TripAdvisor for the experience.

Nice but poorly executed

The place is very nice, but the tour had a lot of disorganization, we were appointed at 08:30 and we were at the dock waiting to leave until almost 10:30, we arrived shortly before 11 a.m. to johnny cay and at 13:00 we had to be waiting to go to the aquarium, which gave little time to get to know the island.

Hola, un gusto saludarte. Nos disculpamos por el inconveniente del retraso ante todo, el cual en esta ocacion escapó de nuestras manos, debido a que en San Andres dependemos de la capitania de puertos quienes en base al clima diario, nos indican a nosotros si el clima es apto para navegar o no y hasta no recibir la orden de salida, no podemos iniciar, este dia, debido a la cantidad de viento que habia en la isla tuvimos un retraso debido a que la informacion de dsalida fue suministrada 2 horas mas tarde de lo que generalmente es notificado, por lo que nos generó retrasos, nuestros tours diarios salen 9 am y 9:30 am, citamos a los pasajeros 8:30 am ya que muchas veces no todos son puntuales al llegar, es por ello que damos media hora para que lleguen. Realmente nos alegra que te haya gustado la isla, y nuevamente nos disculpamos por el retraso, ¡todo siempre es por la seguridad de todos al navegar! saludos!

Insecure and risky paradise

Beautiful place but with no security! The bridge that leads to the Natural Aquarium is floating, it is very agitated depending on the waves of the sea and it is impossible to walk on it serious risk of falling because all hand supports have been damaged for the person to hold and balance!

Olá, Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência e seus comentários. Ficamos felizes em saber que você apreciou a beleza do local. Ao mesmo tempo, entendemos sua preocupação em relação às condições da ponte flutuante que conecta ao Aquário Natural. A infraestrutura desse acesso é administrada pelas autoridades e entidades responsáveis pelo destino, não pela nossa empresa. No entanto, compreendemos que esse aspecto pode impactar a experiência dos visitantes e agradecemos por trazer essa observação à atenção de futuros viajantes. Temos conhecimento de que melhorias e trabalhos de manutenção vêm sendo realizados na área, e esperamos que essas ações contribuam para proporcionar mais conforto e segurança aos visitantes no futuro. Agradecemos novamente pelo seu feedback e esperamos recebê-lo novamente em San Andrés para continuar desfrutando das maravilhas naturais da ilha. Atenciosamente, Equipe Bonaitur

Leaving everything in an Agency in the hands of a travel agency like Bonairtout is a wonder as they take care of everything.

A total paradise. Between snorkeling at the Natural Aquarium and relaxing under the palm trees of Johnny Cay, this tour sums up the best of the island. Boat logistics are quick and the service is usually very friendly. Recommended 100%!

Terrible experience

Entertainment is not worth money at all. Paid 40 euros for the washout at 15 minutes. a shallow Acuario island boat without a roof over rain lion. John Cay island was closed for cleaning so it didn't see it. Before buying entertainment, we were not informed about it, although organizers have all year calendar on any specific dates the island will be closed. The island saw a platoon Fed larger fish and squads of small fish. No Raja or other large fish were absent. On the island, squads offer various services and food at cosmos prices. At every step you are charged: item cabinet 10,000, a small bottle of water 8000. The man left slippers out of the boat. When the boat came back to San Andrees slippers was no longer and the driver could not tell where they were gone. From the port to the hotel, 1 km old man returned without shoes. Two girls from our boat were not coming back in time, it was no one who didn't look for them, just left. Attention to the customer is zero, feel like ATMs. Acuario himself was crowded with people and boats. In one word, chaos for your money. Couse closed Johnny Cay island our tour shortened and took 4 hours at a time. They promised compensation, but we didn't get anything. Run away from this entertainment, spend your precious time on Spratt Bight with lunch and cocktails for this money. We were in the Islands tours of Thailand, the Philippines, Maldives, Vietnam, Dominica so we have to compare with. We didn't like that disrespect to the customer anywhere.
