“We had a fantastic time on this tour. The guides were knowledgable and friendly. Make sure to bring some cash. The first stop was at a pristine beach for snorkeling. There are some locals who rent chairs and umbrellas for a very reasonable price. They also sell fruit and drinks which was an added bonus. We stayed for about 2 hours enjoying the scenery and snorkeling. We saw some other beautiful bays from the boat and then stopped for lunch. The lunch was pricey, but feel free to shop around at other restaurants. They also take some great photos of you on board that you can purchase. We ended up…”
