    The boat ride over to the island which horrible it was so rough. My back was killing me by the time we got back from the island to Uvita. The water was so cloudy really couldn’t see anything. The island was very dirty and primitive. The bathroom on the island was treacherous to get to.. Not worth the money.

    This was a great adventure! We saw humpback whales and a pod of dolphins on our boat ride. In the water we saw turtles, sharks, rays and so many beautiful fish. Our guides were informative and friendly. There is a short break on Cano, which would be a good time to eat snacks you bring yourself. A couple people were sick after the choppy ride, so take your Dramamine before you embark. A beautiful day, I would go again in a heartbeat!

    We really enjoyed the snorkeling trip. Everything went smoothly from the Booking Referral to the final meal. Questions were answered immediately via WhatsApp. The excursion itself was well organized and the guides spread a good mood, but responded well to the participants. But I would like to emphasise security. Care has always been taken to ensure that safety precautions have been observed and that everyone can enjoy the tour.

    An excellent choice of walk. The island is wonderful! Unfortunately the outbound journey was stormy, but the weather cannot be controlled. At least the sea was clear and we could see many different fish, lobsters and even sea turtles. Guide Tony was mentoring us about the species we were encountering and was very friendly the whole trip. The view from the viewpoint of the island is amazing! The soft drinks and fruit gave us energy for the second stage of norkel and the return. We saw three whales, two adults and one calf. Lunch replenished our energy. Thanks for the experience!
