Most of the reviews i write are positive because when i pick one tour i have done the research to match my preferences. This experience was not good. Green island is overhyped, and unless you do scuba diving, not much to do, as the beach is not that good either. Facilities are dirty, no good food. We took the glass bottom boat tour; it’s too short, the fish we got to see are “artificially” attracted by the boat operator feeding them, and the corals are underwhelming. On the positive side the staff of the catamaran are very good, helpful, cheery and with a contagious enthusiasm.

The Glass Bottom Boat was fun and I was able to see the Reef and Fish. Bring towels and a swim suit for the beach.
Good day out.

Glass-Bottom Boat offered quite a view and my partner enjoy the snorkeling. We could see lots of tropical fishes, corals, sting rays, and sea turtles. 3-hour would be too short, I think. We did the 5-hour option.
