Traveler reviews
A perfect excursion.
From A to Z, a perfect day! We were picked up on time, the hour-long flight was great, and the fun boat ride was absolutely fantastic; our guides did everything to ensure we had a wonderful day, they were amazing! 👏🏻 The price is absolutely justified!
Organization and tour TOP
Just fantastic!! I booked the scenic flight + snorkelling package and highly recommend it. Early in the morning the bus picked me up directly from the hostel. After a brief briefing we were divided into groups for the flight .. we were only 4 + the pilot 👨✈️. Jack (pilot) was able to give clear and simple information regarding our flight..very nice and helpful. As for snorkelling we traveled with Page and .. I can't remember the name, but an Asian guy who was our skipper, great!! It was a sight to watch him drive. Page super entertaining and energetic, ready to give us explanations on the points visited. What about .. highly recommended! Serious and organized guys
What a memorable day.
One of the most memorable days I’ve had. The friendliness of every single member of the team could not be faulted. From the bus driver picking us up, the team at check-in, and the pilot of our plane. Then especially the team on the raft. Brad, Lily and Jacob were so friendly and patient with everyone on board.
The best day ever!
What an amazing experience from beginning to end! From bus driver to pilot to office staff and raft crew, we cannot compliment you enough!!! Brad, Jacob and Lily were fun, patient and knowledgable and we felt in safe hands all day! You are a credit to Ocean Rafting and we had such a fantastic day. Thank you!!!
Surreal experience, one to tick off the bucket list.
Most surreal experience I have done, definitely worth it. The flight was awesome, pilot was very knowledgeable and made everyone feel at ease with the ever-changing weather we had. After the flight, you get taken straight to the marina where you are checked in for boat trip. Shoutout to Ben on black Betty. Snorkel sites were amazing. If you get motion sickness then don't book on a windy day as the sea gets quite choppy.
