“Great tour! Offering was clearly advertised, ride pickup from our hotel was communicated multiple times. We lucked out and had a perfect weather day. Snorkle and soak time was just enough. The boat crew was very fun, attentive, and gave tips on how to explore the island once we got there. Lunch provided was more than we'd expected and better than many other tours we've experienced.”

We have done other tours through Viator and had good experiences. We always get reminders. We didn't even get a phone call when they got to the hotel. We were downstairs at that time and could have come right out. I will NEVER use Viator again. I expect a refund!!”

Eric was even flexible to do an extra stop for us at a church we wanted to see. An additional highlight was the lunch - not at all a touristic spot with crappy food, in fact we had reallyyy tasty options. There was almost no waiting time for the food since Eric even ordered our choices in advance. 10/10, very thoughtful organisation. Worth the money & can only recommend !”
