Sunset on the sea

It was a great time & we had great weather. There were 13 in our group and another 4 people we didn’t know. Perfect amount for the boat. The food was good & the staff was helpful. Would definitely book this again.

40th Birthday

Amazing day. Saw turtles, people went into the ocean if they wanted to. The drinks were always pouring and its always nice to see a stranger get sea sick and try to vomit accurately in a solo cup. The walk to and from was easy from our resort and a sunset walk on the beach was absolutely magical.
