The best tour we have been on. The staff were fantastic and very friendly. The kayaking, the snorkelling and the tubing were great fun. The island is beautiful and we had a great day.

I have been to 29 countries and done over 100 day trips and this is the best one I have ever done. The captain, staff and boat are amazing.
