A day to enjoy

5.00The bus is new and comfortable. The staff is attentive and friendly. On the catamaran, the staff stands out for their genuine, close and wonderful treatment. The captain is an approachable person and was very nice. We returned on time and everything went as planned. The only suggestion would be to add a menu of children (nugguets and potatoes).
Great day at the island!...

Worst Tour Experience Ever – Completely Unprofessional

1.00This tour was an absolute disaster. Pickup was 45 minutes late with zero apology. We were promised a bilingual guide, but no one spoke English at all, making the experience confusing and unsafe. The staff was completely unprofessional, especially Brian, who was rude, disrespectful, and dismissive. We were picked up at 6 AM and no food or drinks were provided until 12 PM, which is unacceptable. We also paid for snorkeling but did not feel safe doing it since no English-speaking staff could explain instructions or safety rules. Worst tour experience I’ve ever had. Do not book this tour.

3.00The entertainment on the boat was good. All of the crew were great! I was not happy at the end the the trip because they did not drop me off where I was picked up at, I was left in the middle of town at a gas station at 9:30 pm. I had to wait 40 minutes before I got an Uber! By the time I got to my hotel I couldn’t even have dinner
A fun filled day!

5.00We had a great day! The Bay Island cruises employees were very attentive and super kind. The catamaran was comfortable and the main areas were clean. The DJ and the MC kept the music and the entertainment diverse and fun. Isla tortuga is beautiful. The snorkeling was cool and safe for my children who are not experienced swimmers. The food was just ok on the island but on the boat we had lots of fresh fruits, ceviche, banana bread, that was all delicious. It’s a long excursion but super nice experience for all!

5.00Very suitable for the price as there are where they promise and deliver with poor quality. Not your case as everything was very good and suitable for the price.
Special memories from a special trip!

5.00Our driver, Santiago, and guide, Jordan, were fabulous! Santiago got us there and back safely and on time. Jordan kept us well informed of the stops and itinerary; what we could expect and what was expected of us. Most importantly, Jordan and his crew did an amazing job of making everyone feel welcome and building a camaraderie among everyone on the trip, taking time to talk to personally with each guest and keeping the mood very upbeat and fun! It is a memory my daughter, Claire, and I will never forget
