This tour was absolutely great and truly a must-try. The team was awesome: very friendly, helpful, professional, and funny, which made the whole day even more enjoyable. They took great care of everyone and were always attentive. They also did an excellent job taking photos and helping us capture beautiful memories of the trip. When jellyfish in one area made swimming difficult, they immediately adapted the plan and took us to an extra spot so we could still enjoy the water safely — which really shows how much they care about their guests’ experience. The boat was comfortable, the itinerary well organized, and the locations were stunning. Overall, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!

The park is amazing, seriusly. The park is good for children and adults, offering a good intertainment. I liked the river show and the kingom of light so much! Maybe the ticket section should improve organization, expectially for those who bought ticket online and have to do the line again. And I would raccomand to fasten the service of ordering and preparing meals. For the rest the staff was kind.

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! 🙏
