Filipe was our guide and was excellent. Really enjoyed the experience. Saw dolphins o way back which was very unusual and not expected. Filipe gave information on what was around us and about the islands.

Great tour, Filipe did an awesome job. We went to multiple islands and were given time to explore alone, as well as given informational tours on the way to and from stops. Filipe also went out of his way to show us wildlife such as dolphins, birds, and sea cucumbers. AMAZING!
