Excellent tour - be better with more info from the guide

Excellent island tour with a lot of locations visited. Only downside was at times it felt rushed and there was very little information provided by the tour guide.

Nice island tour

Unfortunately, the island does not have that many highlights. The salt pans and the shark bay were definitely the most interesting points.

Excellent value!

Such good value for money! We were the water with sharks,floated in salt pools, saw the blue eye and travelled around on a open back pick up. Brilliant!

Double cancellation and questionable payment request

Our tour was canceled twice. The first time, because no German-speaking tour guide was available. The second time (in English), we were asked to cancel the tour via Tripadvisor and pay in cash at pickup instead. That was out of the question for us—also because of our Tripadvisor discount. A real shame. I understand that the tour might no longer be profitable at a certain price. In that case, however, the entry of vouchers should simply be deactivated. Really disappointing.

Great day out

Great way to see the sights around the island. Lots of dust about, so prepare to get dirty.
