5.00Awesome trip. You definitely need to book now! The Born Free Charters guys were so nice. We had our family of 10 plus 7 more people on the boat. The boat was very nice. It had 4 rows of seating behind the driver plus 2 more people could sit up front. They pointed our landmarks on our way to the reef. Our group snorkeled and saw pretty fish around the reef. We then went to an area where there were really large turtles. Next we went to the area where the pigs were. It was very organized. They only allowed one group at a time in the water to feed the pigs. They gave us cut up apples and hotdogs. It was so much fun feeding and taking pictures with the pigs. They also had a water trampoline the children jumped on. The pigs were clean and behaved well. They are not gross. The beach is beautiful. The water is so blue. After we were finished here, we went in the boat to a restaurant that was right on the water. 5 different options that we could choose from, and they were all great choices. Great food! We then went back to our location to meet our driver to take us back to the hotel. This was a great excursion and we all had a great time. Our ages ranged from 7 to 68. The water was a little cool since it was in December, but we all got in the water and enjoyed everything. Side note: Also, the area we were picked up has a store you can get cokes that are very cheap. Strongly encourage you to buy a few to take back to your hotel. Book it before you go, because they will book up. You will be so glad you did!!!
Sun, sea, and a lot of fun!
