5.00Very nice experience! We could see spider monkeys and a family of dolphins along the way. Joseph and Alvaro with lots of vibes and willingness throughout the excursion. The island is very nice (I recommend taking something to eat or booking the tour with food included, as there is not much to buy lunch there). Super recommended!
Spectacular experience

4.00We were very excited to go spend a day on the beach. But it didn’t happen. The winds were too strong and the tour guide contacted us to tell us that because of safety reasons he was canceling the tour. I’m giving them four stars out of five because they communicated with me before my tour and then kept in contact with me as the day approached and then on the day of. Someone else left a review for this tour that the tour company didn’t respond which made me leery to book this tour but I went ahead. I had a much different experience than the other post did. I would highly recommend this company. Now as I stand on the cruise ship waiting in line to get off just to walk around, the cruise ship is canceling people getting off because the winds are so strong and the boat keeps moving. So the tour accompany really was just keeping us safe.
10/10 Experience! We had a wonderful day!!

5.00Our experience was amazing to Tortuga Island! Even before the day of our excursion, Joseph was very responsive and helpful. He answered all of our questions in a very timely fashion. He was incredibly friendly. We felt he was focused on making sure we were safe and had a great experience. The snorkeling was very good. We also saw dolphins and spider monkeys. We couldn’t recommend him more to anyone who is looking for a great day at half the price.
Great value comparable to other tours! Friendly and flexible.

5.00Despite making a mistake in the pick up location Joseph graciously offered to pick us up in a location more convenient for us which was so appreciated! He was responsive and flexible in communicating. He picked us up right on time with a smile and a warm welcome. He shared all he knew about the location on the way and always let us know he was there for whatever we needed. Unfortunately the snorkelling was disappointing this day with the visibility being low. Bring shoes to the beach, it is hot! There are only snacks to purchase in the gift shop so bring a lunch! Water shoes are also good for the beach. It is super “Shelly” and hard on the feet. Joseph got us off the island before and after the mad rush of the crowds. On the way back he brought us to a small island to spot some spider monkeys and returned us all in one piece lol. It was a memorable day. Thanks Joseph! 😊
Loved the trip

5.00The tour we did was simply spectacular. From the beginning, everything was perfectly organized: the guide was extremely punctual, friendly and always kept an eye on every detail so that we could enjoy the experience to the maximum. The food was delicious, exceeding our expectations, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. In addition, we were celebrating a birthday, and the attention we received made the moment even more special and unforgettable. Without a doubt, it is an experience we totally recommend. Everything went excellent and we would definitely repeat it again.
Great experience

5.00A fantastic day. Our guide took us to an area with a group of dolphins, an island with spider monkeys and beautiful snorkeling. Isla Tortuga was also lovely.
