Amazing snorkeling in paradise - Amazing time snorkeling with my teenage sons. Rolando was very knowledgeable and an amazing host. The locations he chose had so many fish and marine life, it was like swimming inside an aquarium.

Must do! - Such a fun and relaxing day in the beach! 10/10 recommend!! Our tour guide was so sweet and so informative, he even brought fresh pineapple and cut it for us and cracked coconuts for us to drink! He brought bananas and we hand fed monkeys, we spent time on the beach with chairs and hammocks, he taught us to paddle board and we went out and swam! Then Hiked over to another beautiful beach! 100% recommend

Ronaldo was a great guide... - Ronaldo was a great guide and made the most of our day despite the high tides. Would highly recommend going on this excursion. A couple others we did were all day so having this 2-3 hour option was perfect. Hiking was easy.
