Our guide Pichi (Peachy?) was full of energy and spoke great English. The sunset was incredible, the activities were spaced out nicely, the food was delicious. We swam with the bioluminscent plankton under the stars. Just magical. I obviously highly recommend this tour.”

“The place is very beautiful and the experience with the guide is really good. The only unpleasant thing is the shocking reception. Not a nice woman at all, she's doing you a favor by accepting you. Explains in a rude and disrespectful way. Then at the end they shove really dirty fruit at you. In conclusion, the attraction is really worth the visit and I definitely wouldn't give up. But the management kind of disgusted us. I apologize that this is the case, it is in our opinion”
