“Love the part that the guide has considered my opinion instead of just forcing you to pair a group with another person, tho she had the right to do so, greatly appreciate about this, and they were kind the whole time, taking pics and offering apples and snacks after snorkeling, but please be aware that there is no place to change ur clothes so cannot change back to ur regular clothes after the tour, and have to be strong enough in the upper part of the body to finish the course, I’m not that fit, so got a little behind, but all guide are so nice and kind, just follow…”
