5.00This was an outstanding day trip! Everything was excellent -- comfortable and spotless catamaran, knowledgeable and friendly two-person crew, and amazing activities. We stopped to watch the dolphins and giant sea turtles, and snorkelled over the coral reef, watching endless tropical fish. Our crew barbecued a delicious lunch and drinks were available to quench the thirst. A memorable trip and great value.
Beautiful tour

5.00The experience was truly unique! We privatized the catamaran as a family. The crew was very caring, the new boat and the eastern lagoon is the most beautiful we have done on the island! I recommend 100%! It was unique!!!
