The day started with a delicious breakfast spread at the pier followed by a very informative briefing by our tour guide. We had a great time at each island and they also went as far as clicking our pictures. Everything went smoothly and it was a 100% worth it.

We were very satisfied with our tour. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the crew was both fun and very attentive. Our guide explained every place we visited in a clear and detailed way. The refreshments on board were delicious, and the lunch was served as an open buffet with plenty of options. It was a pleasant, relaxing, and wonderful experience. Many thanks to the whole team! 🙏

We booked this for our honey moon and wow what an experience!! The friendly staff and tour guides were amazing, the best of the very best. The information they had behind the island and its culture to the vibes they provided while transporting to the different islands is out of this world.

The crew was really prefessional and kind. Amazing places. Don't recommend speedboat to people that suffer seasickness. Really hardcore trip

Really amazing trip, it’s been on my bucket list for a while. Everything was just right. This is something we as a family will cherish for a long time. We rented towels but didn’t really need them. Thanks

Fantastic trip. Absolutely wonderful crew (Jack’s team) who took care of us SO well all day. They kept us entertained and provided tons of useful info. We loved all the islands. Our only downside was snorkeling right after lunch, which upset our stomachs a bit.
