    Was an amazing experience! Definitely worth the money. Our tour guide was brilliant. Her name was Kary (sorry if name is spelt wrong :) ) she had very good knowledge and could see she had good passion with what she does for work. Kary answered all of our questions and ensured we were safe the whole way through the tour. Thank you for the amazing experience for our honeymoon.

Mi spiego meglio, per la nuotata con le tartarughe abbiamo dovuto noi andare a chiedere dove potevano cambiarci e cosa dovevamo prendere e la risposta è stata vaga. All’uscita dal mare la guida era già sulla spiaggia quando io e mio figlio eravamo ancora a 50 metri dalla riva. Tutto il giro quasi di fretta come se un a
