Incredible Way to see the island

Had an amazing time with Chris. Extremely knowledgable about the history of the island, and all the cool spots. He was friendly, funny, took incredible photos, and I loved talking golf with him. 11/10. Would totally do again.

Snorkeling in a fishbowl

Wow. Saw so many schools of fish and turtles thanks to our guide, Nyle, who took us out much further than we would have gone by ourselves. She also took great action shots on her GoPro.
