“Our tour was 9/13 with guide Nevin and driver John. Nevin was exceptional! We learned so much about the land, culture and history of each stop and more! The highlight was snorkeling with the sea turtles! Our lifeguard was perfect and me as a 1st-timer, I felt like a pro with his guidance! He was so laid back yet made sure we were safe 1st and they made certain we all got a chance to see the turtles. This was definitely the best part of our entire trip. I love that we had the smaller group too (it’s not a giant tour bus). Highly recommend this tour!”
