5A wonderful time!
Had a wonderful time and Captain Omar was very accommodating with my tour! Even though it rained at the beginning we got to do a full tour of the shoreline and hot very famous spots! Loved it and would book again!
5Worth the Money!
We met our captain at the boat harbor. He was waiting for us. He took us to the boat. Helped us with our items and gave us a quick tour of the boat. Then he prepared the boat for our tour. It was beautiful out on the water. We were very glad that we booked a 4 hour tour and were able to swim. Our captain took us to a small island and we got off to look at a statue on the island. We hung out there for a while but the other boats were all playing loud music so we asked to go somewhere quieter. He took us to a place where we swam and enjoyed the water. He even let each of us drive the boat for a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. Our captain show us the boat had a fresh water hose and we were able to rinse off. Take the time after a cruise to book an excursion on the water you won’t regret it.
