There was ample space for all throughout the boat once you got settled in and began sailing to the first island. Beautiful beach and crystal clear water. Onto the next island where you can snorkle and see the coral and fish underneath you. We tried all the activities included and the food was great too. Reasonably priced alcoholic drinks available for the return leg to watch the sunset. A great day and a little sunburnt !”

Our phone was about to run out of battery and we wanted to ask for a little charge, but they refused and were not kind. The lady in the picture helped immediately, smiled, and was kind. She gave us her own power bank. Perhaps the others should not be dealing with customers if it is such a burden for them…”
