This was a nice trip but for it was a bit expensive for what you get in my opinion. The boat was packed with 20 people. Guide was average. Snorkeling also average, but we were able to see turtles and a whale on the trip (this was the best part and very rare). We then stopped at a beach for an hour which was pretty, but not as tropical feeling as I expected (in comparison with islands in Thailand or Maldives for example). The guides were kind and tried very hard to make it a pleasant experience for everyone but I left feeling a paid a lot for an average experience.

The islands are incredible and the tour company allow time for self exploration and offer insights. For example they told us the best places to snorkel and see turtles.

The scenery itself is super! We saw dolphins along the journey and turtles during snorkeling.
However, the service of the tour guide requires much improvement.
We were given the snorkeling mask but not the fins though fins were available on boat. For the snacks, we were given one slice of sandwich and one slice of watermelon each.

Great adventure with our driver, thanks to him we met 50 dolphins and spend 15 min with them jumping around us!
Then we absolutely took our time swimming with the tortles and enjoying some wonderful beaches.
Thank you again, the children had a wonderful time too and couldn't believe their eyes too!
