“Parasailing was a mess boat shut down so we couldnt parasail. We rescheduled with guide for the next day in the morning but did not receive a Confirmation, I emailed tour comany multiple times with no response about rescheduling but waited in the lobby just in case, no driver arrived, then rescheduled again for the afternoon, driver showed up but then got lost picking up 2nd group so it took 1.5 to get to the beach to parasail for less then 5 min and wasted half our day. Do yourself a favour and just go snorkeling and party boat.”

“The catamaran tour with snorkeling was fantastic! The team were friendly and very accommodating. They introduced the various members of the team and gave a clear explanation of what each guy did (Captain, bar guy, etc). The lunch was perfect (sandwiches, tortilla chips/salsa, fresh fruit, cake), drinks of all kinds were plentiful (at one point the drinks guy brought trays of drinks into the water for us to enjoy!). The snorkeling was handled very well. The boat had a slide (fun!) so half of the group went in the slide first while the others snorkeled then we swapped. We saw tons of fish on a reef. After that we went…”
