Wouldn’t do it again

First problem, they told us to be in the lobby by 5a.m. Security told me “ that’s strange, they usually show up at 5:45”. I showed him my confirmation. They arrived at 6:15.am. We finally get to the boat, everything seems to be going ok. For breakfast it’s a a ham and cheese sandwich. Very basic. But at least the staff on the boat was very attentive and polite. When we got to the beach we got to hang out, it was area for our group to swim and they had beach chairs for us. Lunch was dry and bland. Towards the end, I was going to go to the showers to take the sand off and get dressed, I was told it was a bathroom only to wait till we get to shore where the showers are located. When we get to shore, I found out that they charge you to use the showers. HOW DO THEY CHARD YOU TO RINSE OFF??!!! And when I finally was just going to pay, the driver and staff tells me we’re leaving now you have to get in the bus.. so I had to spend approximately 4 hours with my crotch full of sand and a wet bathing suit. My skin was soooooo irritated when I got back to the hotel , I was contemplating on going to the doctor if my skin didn’t feel better my the morning. I wouldn’t recommend this tour, maybe book with a different company maybe better experience.

Great with friends🫶

Excellent attention, we went yesterday, May 31, and Michael, our guide, was very attentive and helpful. The attention from the entire crew was excellent; we ate and drank deliciously. I would return again, a thousand thanks for a great Sunday with my friends.

The beach was so...

The beach was so beautiful and serene. The crew was incredibly attentive and our tour guide, Mari, was extremely helpful! There was good music, the fruit was delicious, and the drinks were always coming. The lunch was more on the bland side, but otherwise, our experience was wonderful :)

A Good Day Out

It was great to experience the Pacific Cast & this is an easy way of doing it. However it is a long day out & at £125 not cheap. The boat trip itself was excellent with lots of fresh fruit, coffee & cocktails provided. Tortuga Island is beautiful with a lovely beach & wildlife. Do the walking trail as it is well worthwhile.

Amazing experience!

Excellent from pickup at our hotel to drop off. Our tour guide Brian and our bus driver were great. The crew on the catamaran were just wonderful. Tortuga was beautiful. We had our own chairs, a delicious lunch, many activities to choose from or just relax on the beach and an overall amazing experience from start to finish. Would definitely suggest doing this adventure.. just plan for a fun, adventure and long day. 🥰

A day to enjoy

The bus is new and comfortable. The staff is attentive and friendly. On the catamaran, the staff stands out for their genuine, close and wonderful treatment. The captain is an approachable person and was very nice. We returned on time and everything went as planned. The only suggestion would be to add a menu of children (nugguets and potatoes).

Worst Tour Experience Ever – Completely Unprofessional

This tour was an absolute disaster. Pickup was 45 minutes late with zero apology. We were promised a bilingual guide, but no one spoke English at all, making the experience confusing and unsafe. The staff was completely unprofessional, especially Brian, who was rude, disrespectful, and dismissive. We were picked up at 6 AM and no food or drinks were provided until 12 PM, which is unacceptable. We also paid for snorkeling but did not feel safe doing it since no English-speaking staff could explain instructions or safety rules. Worst tour experience I’ve ever had. Do not book this tour.
