“Beautiful beach! - Trevor was a wonderful driver and tour guide! I do wish that more explanation had been given as to exactly where to meet him as we were late. Other than that, we loved every minute of the excursion! Beautiful beach and water. Do wish a towel was provided or let us know to bring own. Bianca and Julie were very nice and accommodating. We will definitely use this company again!” - Reviewed at 2025-02-26
