Magical experience poorly executed

2.00Great idea, wonderful landscape and a very special experience indeed. I would definitely do this again if you get the chance. Being a private boat also added more privacy and freedom for us however, in our specific experience, the skipper spoke very little English, he was alcohol intoxicated throughout the tour, and there was minimal interaction, no explanation about landscape or culture, more worryingly, NO safety briefing whatsoever which is quite concerning given we had 2 children, snorkeling was a shambles, we were given flimsy cheap tools which did not work, we asked for life jackets for our kids, and were told the water was shallow and they were not needed! the spot where snorkeling was supposed to take place had beautiful water but the corals were so badly bleached and the time allocated was extremely short, you did not have a chance to see anything. The skipper refused to give us more time although this was meant to be a private tour. Overall, this was a magical experience very poorly executed by the company. You charged a first world price and delivered a 3rd world experience
Great day

5.00An all-round successful day. Just perfect. Our driver Sahil picked us up from our accommodation on time. He was very attentive and friendly, gave us typical snacks, showed and explained us a lot on the drive. The catamaran tour was also unforgettable. The crew was in a great mood and nothing was missing. Anytime again and highly recommended 👍🏻

5.00Great experience, an unforgettable day! The Daria, Kevin and Daniel crew at the top of the best. They took great care of us and our son Lucas who was even able to celebrate his birthday on the catamaran. The cake and candles were delivered to us directly on the boat. One thing is certain: he will remember these 5 years. We were able to see dolphins and feed the monkeys at the foot of the waterfall. A big thank you to you. I highly recommend !
