Our group, 3 couples ages 60+, had a great day touring the island with our guide, Derek. He had a good sense of humor and was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to any needs. He kept us hydrated and fed throughout the trip. Highlights included the botanical garden where we walked shaded paths surrounded by flowering tropical plants and soaring trees. Swimming in the brisk water under a towering waterfall at a private property was unforgettable. Highly recommend Derek and Wasabi Tours!

The tour was great! Miexia (sp?) was an excellent guide! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. I don't know if I can pick a favorite spot but really loved seeing the turtles at the black sand beach and the views from the lookouts were amazing!
