    We took the snorkell tour, we were very lucky to have a sunny day for it’s rainy season and to take several days without doing the tour. The captain of the boat very friendly. The tour was fantastic, our guide gave explanations of each step and took us to the best sites on the reef. We really enjoyed the activity !! And he offered us fruits upon finishing !! I recommend and contract again !!
