Amazing guide!

Namita_A, Jul 2023
The sign up and getting started was a mess, but the islands were beautiful and Gabriel our backpackers guide was amazing. He was so helpful at every island. He also was so flexible giving us more time when we wanted a bit more, he didn't rush us at all. Highly recommend if you can go with him!!

Nice experience just misleading tour

Overall the day out was just over 7 hours when Viator states 12 (we were expecting maybe 9-10). FYI it’s lunch, whilst it’s included you have spend up to 25000 COP and most items on the menu mere more than this. Visited only 3 beaches. Not 5.

Was a little...

Alisha S, Nov 2017
We purchased this tour because we wanted to relax with one snorkeling diversion and one beach. Instead, our 9 hour trip turned into 12 as we were shuttled to three different stops lasting less than an hour each. We did not get what we paid for and left feeling more exhausted than relaxed.
