“Es war ein fürchterlicher Ausflug. Die Abfahrt sollte um 9:30 Uhr sein. Leider gab es für uns keinen Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Also fragten wir uns durch, wurden jedoch nur von einer Person zur nächsten weitergereicht. Gegen 10:20 Uhr wurde uns schließlich gesagt, wir sollten einfach bei irgendeiner Tour mitfahren, die wir überhaupt nicht gebucht hatten. Nachdem wir deutlich gemacht hatten, dass wir die Wasserfalltour nicht zum Spaß gebucht hatten, dauerte es weitere 20 Minuten, bis wir endlich losfuhren.

A beach BBQ, drinks, and optional hotel transfers are included, with parasailing and tube rides extra.

“The food on the island was good but thats about it. The all inclusive/ unlimited drinks and snacks fitted in a little cooler. They feed the monkeys with chips 👎We thought the guide/ driver would explain something along the tour or give us informations what's next but unfortunately he didn't speak much english. So most of our questions remained unanswered. We were very disappointed when the tour ended after only 5 hours at 2 p.m. We felt betrayed. It is not worth the money. We can't recommend this tour at all.”
