The organization was top-notch, the guides passed us hand-in-hand, I was worried about getting lost in the port and not keeping up, but they looked after us so thoroughly and literally led us by the hand everywhere. Not even the tropical rain could spoil our tour, we managed to visit all the locations, had a delicious lunch, and were accompanied back to the boat and taken to the hotel. This is mastery at the highest level!

Excellent trip organization. The transfer driver from the hotel to the port and back was very punctual. We were met on the island, escorted to the minivan, and taken to the spot where we could change, were given flippers, and then we went to the boat. The guide was very fun and interesting, explaining everything. There were not many of us in the boat, 10 people, and there was enough space. We were given masks there; if needed, you could take a life jacket. Everyone swam with them because it is convenient, just floating on the surface of the water. We saw manta rays! We saw turtles! Lots of fish! Huge enjoyment! Later there was a sufficiently hearty lunch! And we rode through the mangrove forest. Thanks to the guide and his colleagues for watching everyone in the water, feeding the fish, and showing where to swim to see the most interesting things!

Everything was great! Especially the guide)) funny, kind, responsive, took a huge number of photos and videos. Was very helpful. The food on the island was delicious. I especially enjoyed the kayaking trip. It was great! The only thing is, I almost got lost in the port despite knowing English 😁 Good thing I wasn't alone. They would definitely have gotten lost without me because of not knowing English 😁 Even though we were supposedly met and seen off, we almost got lost anyway 😁

Everything was great! We were met on time, everything was shown and explained (in English), received movement instructions via WhatsApp, and got an instant response to any question that arose. On the island, we were greeted by a very cheerful and smiling instructor - Young Coconut, that's their nickname 😁. We saw manta rays and turtles, very picturesque coral reefs with a huge number of fish! Then there was kayaking in the mangrove forest. At the end of a busy day, the instructor took us to a viewpoint from where the entire island could be seen πŸ‘πŸ» Thank you for the experiences!
