Spectacular tour on the big island - Spectacular tour on the big island. We were able to get to know the famous blue lagoon, snorkel and to complete the day was beautiful, making everything perfect. My wife and I indicated the Agency too much, it was impeccable and fulfilled everything that was offered. We will definitely do other tours with the Nattrip.

Amazing sights with an emphasis on fun - Beautiful stops. Plenty of time for swimming and walking. The boat ride was fun, although it had quite the party boat theme, so perhaps not as catered to some of the elderly guests as it got quire noisy at times. It didn't bother me personally, but if you're not looking to drink and mingle you might steer towards a quieter tour.

Run for your life. Don’t take unless you are ok with poor quality - This tour has been the worse of my trip. Nothing was organized. The bus seats were good but the driver kept playing with the AC. The collection in the morning took 3 hours!!!! We waited after we got on the bus two more hours but some folks started at 6am. We got to the boat only at 1230 after a long line at the steamy entrance to the tour office the boat was old and neglected, broken toilets , they stuffed maybe 100 people on that, some were in the sun all day. Loud speakers too much. The guide was so so, bad English, half info. The tour itself was messy and the highlight was a disgusting dinner in some neglected stinky place on the last beach. They wasted my entire day we arrived back to rio only at 2300 it was so messy.

Far too much driving! - Absolutely not recommended. The description read “Duration of altivity: 12 hours. In total, however, she went 16 hours, of which we spent 10 on the bus, as first 35 hotels had to be approached to collect all participants. The boat was relatively crowded and the stops were not particularly spectacular quite briefly. The announced lunch was only available at 5 p.m. The guide was very nice and translated everything well into English but basically the trip consisted of far too much driving for too little worth seeing
