“This trip is not easy and there’s only one time that you get in the water unless you decide to cliff jump. There are “rest” stops where the guide stops two other times for people to catch up and to give information. Make sure you’re close to him so you can hear because there’s lots of noisy activity with boats and planes. It’s a good activity to see the city from a different perspective and not hot . It would have been nice to sick at the island …”

We were able to jump in and swim, and never felt rushed at the Blue Cave. Each island stop was perfectly timed, giving us just the right amount of time to enjoy what each had to offer. During our second island stop, we had lunch at the captain’s home, prepared by his wife and it was hands down the best meal we had during our entire trip. My wife and I haven’t stopped talking about it! The entire crew was kind, welcoming, and truly made…”
