Traveler reviews
“We book this tour with one of the tour operators at our resort! This is the worst and most horrible tour we have ever done! Let me detail: 1. The boat did not have life jackets for the 70 passengers . When I asked about them the tour guides just turn around and went away. There was no safety talk, capacity restrictions, etc. 2. We were told that there were whales. I new it was just a lie because whales are not in the area in April. 3. The horse ride was extremely dangerous and horrible. The path was extremely unsafe and the horses were mistreated. Definitely animal cruelty. You have a horse guide the entire time because it is so dangerous that any fall would be catastrophic. The horse guides are unpaid people that work off the tips. 4. We were promised snorkeling. There was no snorkeling at all. We were given 1 hour in a beach that was the only good thing of the entire tour. 5. The food provided, forget about it! Bring something to snack on. 6. They will stop over several places to get you to buy local goods. Bottom line, in my opinion, save yourself money, and a day of your holidays and avoid this tour”
“Loved the tour! Boat ride was interesting😅. Pedro was a great guide and everyone was very helpful to help with my disability”
“The whales were incredible they got super close to the boat and put on an amazing show. The boat was so full though it was hard to squeeze in and see them or get pictures. Even so that was the best part of the day. The islands were so busy and the wait to use the bathroom or to get drinks took up most of the time there. It poured the entire day and the horse riding was cancelled but they also cancelled the chocolate and coffee part even though we were already there. If they had let the driver know in advance we could have saved over an hour driving there for nothing. Lots of moving from this boat to that one and at one point they overloaded a boat by double and forgot to put gas in it so we changed again. Also had to change from one bus to another, the day was very disorganized. They told us at both islands a time to meet and said if we weren't there they would leave but we waited over 30 minutes for a small group of the same people twice which put us behind all day. They were with a tour guide who worked with the captain so they waited twice. Overall quite disappointing except for the whales and I would not waste the time to do it again. If you go take your own food, the breakfast was a plain cheese sandwich with one piece on lunch meat and the lunch was less than good plus it's a really long day”
“It is a very long tour, we we picked at 6:30, on booking they told us we would be back in the hotel at 5:30 but we arrived at 10:30. Most of the time is travelling, waiting for people to gather and etc. The overall activities are fine but for the house ride - pure torture of the animals.”
“Very lovely day, though was a very long day. 13 hours in total. But travel aside it was a great day, saw whales, rode horses saw a lovely natural waterfall. ”
