Nice day trip

Although there was a delay in the pickup, the rest of the day was great. A great getaway on a private beach & a fun boat ride. All of the guides were helpful and made sure we had a good time!

Unorganized

The day started off with the bus being late for an hour and twenty minutes. Once we got there the bus driver did not know where to find the tour guide. We were already behind on the itinerary and skipped the first stop at the natural pool. The whole trip was made worse by people constantly trying to sell us things that we didn’t want to buy.

Operator response

Thank you for your opinion.
