2.5 hours full of emotion, the guides were wonderful, they were at a level of 10, the whole trip was spectacular with dolphins next to our boat, the beautiful views and we were also able to enter a cave that was spectacular, they let us bathe in the area and the explanations they gave us at all times were very funny with a lot of humor. I recommend it.

Very nice experience! The guide was very nice and told a lot. He could also speak many languages. We were lucky and saw dolphins. That was very cool! We were in a kind of speedboat, so it moved quite nicely through the waves, but it is a stable boat. Caves were also very beautiful. Even if you are not lucky enough to see dolphins, it is still a beautiful experience.
