“Schöner Trip über die Insel. Als Tipp für diejenigen die mit den Schildkröten schwimmen gehen, nichts grünes anziehen da sie mit Löwenzahn (glaube ich, jedenfalls grün) gefüttert werden. Auf die Farbe fahren die voll ab und man könnte sonst an Stellen angeknabbert werden die man nicht möchte 🥴😂”

His knowledge, friendliness, and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“I enjoyed the tour. It ended up being a private tour with just my wife and I. The tour guide was on time and took us where we needed to go. The only problem that I had was that I requested a guide who speaks English and we got a guide who didn't, which made communication very difficult. Other than that the tour it self was worth book for the price 👌🏽 💯”
