Traveler reviews
“Our tour guide Darius was amazing. Very impressive speaking 5 languages to accommodate all the travelers on the tour. I am an avid whale watcher so for me I would have rather spent more time whale watching than the 3 hours on Bacardi island at the beach which is a nice beach. The light breakfast and lunch was good I had no complaints. The rum and coke open bar on the boat was a nice touch. This was definitely a very long day. Most of the time is spent picking up then dropping off passengers. My pick up was at 6:05 am and I returned back to my resort at 7:30 pm. The driver was also great! Very nice and comfortable bus. They do have outlets on the seats to charge your phone. The crew on the ship was also very nice. ”
