From boarding the boat to leaving we had such fun. Dave the marine biologist was such good fun. The beach walk was very informative, the snorkling was great. The secluded island was both pristine and picturesque. It was safe for the children with lots of sand and plenty of shelter.
Excellent tour but we were lucky to only have 20 people that day. Having a marine biologist on the tour made the day a great experience.
