Nice trip - Nice to do. Very pleasant Captain Jhon (juan) we had . Was really nice to the kids. Trip's just long enough, too. First island to just lie on the beach and second cozy to drink in one of the bars.

Fun and informative with a charismatic host! - Really great tour! Our guide was super informative and had lots to offer regarding the local history of the national park and surrounding cities and islands. We did the three hour tour and had some freedom to explore on two of the islands in the park. Would recommend to travellers who don’t have much time in the area as it was concise but we still saw and learned lots about the area.
