    We never got the chance...

    We never got the chance to go because the guide didn’t show up. We were there 30 minutes before and waited for one hour. We contacted Viator account service and requested refund.

    Great Opportunity to visit the middle of the island!

    Chase_R, Mar 2022
    We had a blast exploring Rincon and the middle half of the island with GiGi! She was informative, and took us all over the middle of the island. It included 1000 Steps, flamingoes just near the park, the Cross overlooking Kralejndik, the Cadushy Distillery, and an incredible place for a bite to eat during our visit. You could tell how much she loved the island and loved sharing it with others. We are really glad we got an opportunity to do this tour (the day after getting engaged) as it was a fun, relaxing way to see beyond the beaches.
