Odaine Delight Tours handles the day, with stops for photos and food possible.

“Although I think the tour description could be more detailed all the surprises were good surprises for the most part. The catamaran cruise included free rum punch and snorkeling equipment was provided. We were given over an hour to snorkel on the reef and ended up seeing a large spotted Eagle ray which was a highlight of our trip. Ricks cafe is not what it sounds like at all. It’s a cliff divers paradise in paradise with a Vegas pool party vibe. We had a wonderful time jumping and lounging in the pool. Tip for travelers would be to take advantage of having a private driver on the long 2…”
