I ordered this tour because it was spouse to include the Cousin island ( the birds island) on the day of the tour when they come to pick up us they said that the Cousin island is un accessible because the boat is not functioning, which was a lie since other people went to this island . I paid for full day tour and received half day tour, not to mention that the price for the 2 island that we went is half price of the one that we paid. This company is one big scam.
its cheating. don't by viator excursion

first its not worth traveling to the turtle island as they are every where and if you went there all you need is 15 minutes and you are done so it's not worth the money. 2. they charge us an enters fee of 900 ropi per person or 60$ and only after i insist they gave me a recite for 600 ropi (40$). in your web you wrote it dosn't include enter fee but its not writen that it is an extra of such a high price. it is 30% more! the boat name was Lily.it was a blackmail 3. it included lunch and that was very medium

Great trip, fantastic weather with crystal blue waters full of bird life on the island that you could get so close to. Beware of the mosquitoes 🦟 they will ravage you on Cousin without adequate protection 😬
A wonderful day out. Happen to see amazing and rare birds and Giant Turtles on the Cousin and Curiose Island.

1. The sailing in the speedboat name Lily was terrible!! The boat skipper drove it was very fast in a very rough sea. The boat litterly jumped in the air. The jumps of the boat caused us severe back blows and all our requests to slow down the speed were met with refusal with baseless claims. In one of the big jumps I fell on the floor of the boat and got hit badly. Since this cruise I have been walking around with severe back pain taking painkillers and so has another couple who participated in this nightmare. 2. We were sent to another part of the island with no guide, not to mention explenations of the things we see. This walk took 45 minuts we were alone, not knowing the way. 3. We got the impresion that the boat skipper was In a hurry to finish the tour and return home. We all were painful and very disapointed.
