“The driver picks up close to the port, The blue water is beautiful. But the boat doesn’t go into the caves. You swim into the caves that are pretty dark. I was disappointed with that. Our boat captain was super nice. Dominic is his name. I think overall it was nice but I really wanted to see bigger caves where you could actually see good. The beach at the end of tour was ok. Pretty small w places to eat & drink. The snorkeling equipment was shared and not sanitized. We didn’t use that.”
