“This tour has a lot of time sitting on a chartered bus - combined, close to 3 hours. The tour guide Rosy was very knowledgeable and did speak about the area and history on the way to the ruins. However, speakers on the bus intercom system were blown and it was difficult to understand what she was saying. Our bus had to be changed due to some kind of mechanical problem 1/2 way through. Lunch was delicious and time for kayaking was good. I didn’t see any beach access at the lagoon area.”

“This your company was top notch. We booked with this company for the premium small group experience. When no one else booked at the same time, instead of canceling, they gave us a private excursion. Leo, our guide was very hospitable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We started our trip with a private car, went to the ruins, where Leo personally guided my husband and I around, avoiding the crowds. On the way to the 7 colors Lagoon, our boat wasn't ready, so instead of waiting on the dock, he took us to go see the forts. He stopped on the way to buy a fresh pineapple from a street vendor,…”

“We had a great day diving. We arrived on a cruise ship and took a taxi to the dive shop. Our 13 year old was diving with us and he is new to diving. Cesar, our dive master, was great and helped our son when needed. They were upfront about the weather not being great and the visibility not being the best. But I’m glad we were still able to dive because the reef is beautiful and we saw plenty of marine life including a turtle, an eel, lobster, crabs and so many fish. I would definitely recommend and we would dive here again.”
