Contoy Island and snorkeling

Wow, the experience of this tour, Contoy Island is truly a beautiful paradise, the food was 1000/10, the snorkeling was amazing, and the service is very good. Charly is a great guide and very kind; the crew was also super friendly and attentive, but I want to make a special mention of the photographer who was very nice and always made sure you felt comfortable throughout the tour. Without a doubt, I highly recommend it!!!!

Pirates!

I would describe it like speedboating through the Caribbean with a bunch of merry pirates. They definitly have their sea legs as they danced and climbed all over the boat. You can tell Gabby and the crew put their heart and soul into their jobs. Even though they were pirates, you knew you taken care of and made sure you were safe. The island of Isla Contoy is paradise. Untouched by humans and the water is prestine. I booked this tour because of the high reviews. I'm going to add me to this list of satisfied customers.
