Excellent experience! - The guides did a great job. The tour was really good and informative. But none of these “too serious” tours but really well done. There was music, there were drinks for both young and old. And in between there was pizza! There were also dolphins and jumping tunas to see! (Reviewed at: 2025-04-09)
