Pick up was a little chaotic, but to be expected with so many people coming off of a cruise. Our driver, Monique was incredible very knowledgeable and helpful. She even made an extra stop at the chocolate factory for us. The monkeys, sloths, and birds were so fun to experience. Had a great time! The snorkeling was awesome. They took us out pretty far and we were able to see a lot of fish definitely would recommend to anyone.
We had a wonderful day with a visit to monkeys, sloths and macaws our guide guide was fantastic. Very knowledgable of the island and then we went snorkelling on beautiful reef teaming with multiple varieties of fish and beautiful coral
Fun day, it was great to combine both activities especially with limited time. The sloths are so cute and other animals worth seeing. Snorkeling was good.
The port is chaotic but they gave us accurate instructions to find them. Here is a bit of walking through the town. You can’t touch the sloths but you can get close. The moneys were so fun and cute. Definitely bring bug spray. The snorkeling was incredible. They take you on a boat to the barrier reef (2nd largest after Australia). We would definitely do it again!
Tour was excellent. We enjoyed our experience! I didn’t like walking through the mud to get to the car but the driver was super friendly.
We had a great time like always, the drive all ways caution, even if it was raining that day. We stopping at a convenience store to purchase snacks.
Please note the description said the snorkeling is in water 4 to 5 feet deep. We brought our 6 and 7 year old and a not strong swimming adult. What actually happens is you jump off a boat in water 15+ feet deep and you float for 45-60 minutes in open water until the boat picks you up again. Half of us couldn't do it at all. The other two it was a struggle and not at all what was advertised. It's probably fine for experienced swimmers or people without small children but do note the description is massively misleading. A monkey bit my daughter during the first part which soured the experience, but they are wild animals and unpredictable so that isn't really the tour provider's fault. The driver was fine as well, pleasant guy. I don't think he wrote the description here so I don't blame him. Again, if you know you're going into 20 feet of water for an hour, it'll be fun probably. This rating is strictly based on how inaccurate and wasteful it was for us to book this description as written. I feel like it should be corrected to more accurately reflect the experience.
Our guide Carlos is really knowledgeable. First stop was the monkey and sloths, although you cannot hug the sloths anymore, you are still able to interact with them. Second stop was the snorkeling and we saw a lot of fishes. Last stop was the beach, it was ok.
This was a very fun excursion. Our driver was so sweet and was great to talk to and learn more about the island. The monkey and sloth was such a fun experience and the snorkeling was great!!
Awesome trip. Well taken care off. AJ’s was awesome for the monkey sloth. The snorkeling was excellent, great location. Picked up right near terminal and dropped off inside. Had a great driver, Tommy, who had a couple extra suggestions for us catering to our wants. The best shore day of the 20 I’ve had on my five cruises.
