5.00First, I’m going to start with the “bad thing” that’s not bad either, but to take into account when hiring you. When I booked the tour it was in Spanish language and it came out slightly more than in Portuguese and in the end it was only in Portuguese. Anyway, you understand the language in general and the guide (Clayton) was very friendly always tried to make sure we understood, especially about timing and directions. The excursion consists of transfer to a space where there are facilities such as bathrooms, dressing rooms, a buffet, manicured green spaces and swimming pool. Very beautiful set. The space where you are welcomed is a luxury! You have breakfast and then you go by boat to a platform to make the sightings in the corals. You get snorkeling, but you can choose to do some snorkeling with the oxygen tubes. Other activities that you can do, optional paying there, are riding a quadricycle and horse. I don't remember anything else. But very complete and nice walk the main thing.
Not worth the price

3.00Full-day excursion to snorkel for a while. It's shallow and people lift the sand when they swim and look little. They fed the fish bread. The 7 km becomes endless, it is very far from the coast. There are many catamarans and many people, we had to snorkel between boats people and ropes in the middle. We have to hope that the people who bought another tour will finish it so that they can return to the hotel. The restaurant where you are kept waiting has a good view but expensive and the guide insists on buying them, fortunately we bring food. Wear uv shirt. Traffic has air.
Christmas, blessed land!
