5.00Just make sure to take everything you might need to make this a fun trip (ex: a sweater, drinks…) & make sure not to leave anything behind. Lucky for us that Luis (boat captain) saw the phones & came right back to return them. I would recommend this to everyone, it’s a good day trip.
AMAZING TOUR WITH THE BEST TOUR GUIDE!
