Guides were very kind and we got to see some amazing stuff!! The only challenge was we were a group of 4 in the whole group of 25, the guides gave all info/instructions in Spanish. They spoke very little English to us.

Fabulous trip! We hopped out of the boat to walk in the water to Bandara Beach. Beautiful colors of the water. Then we sped off to Espírito Santo Island. Choppy waters didn’t deter our excellent Captain Xavier. Edwin gave us all the info regarding flora and fauna with help from Antonio. They were all a very knowledgable and fun crew! Don’t miss this trip!

Everything was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The tour was guided by Daniela & Antonio, they were super friendly and attentive the whole trip, always very attentive to the needs of the crew, our captain Yazhir was quite experienced and made the trip quite enjoyable. We saw all the most beautiful spots on the island, sloop and Lobera. The food on the beach was very delicious and we were always very well served. I highly recommend!
