Honest Review

This is an honest review, hoping to assist others with their choice. Firstly our guide Miss Banana was excellant, The boat ride was rough and too crowded, I was squashed in the back and very uncomfortable. Snorkelling was average, no flippers just a snorkel and little fish to see. The lunch was beyond poor, food was on table on arrival and cold. Our family only ate the rice it’s not what we were expecting. The stop at lunch was too long. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this snorkelling trip.

Loved it and what a beautiful experience..❤️

We had a fabulous time today with Miss Banana! It got off to a slow start but Miss Banana was such a great guide that we ended loving every minute of it. The snorkeling was fabulous but we went scuba diving with our kids & that was amazing experience for them! The food was excellent as was the whole experience! Thank you to everyone but especially to Miss Banana (btw who has a very good sense of humor 😀..)
