He was friendly, informative, and genuinely pleasant to talk to. The whole team was attentive and helpful, and we were served fresh fruit and drinks with all necessary amenities provided. One downside was that the schedule felt quite rushed. I would have preferred fewer stops with more time at each island or snorkeling spot, as 30–60 minutes goes by very quickly once everyone gets off the boat and instructions are given. Another issue was the transfer driver. He was loud, unprofessional, and drove in a way…”
