Very Poor Experience

Martyn_W, Oct 2025

Nightmare Island Let’s start with the obvious. The trip is called Dream Island, yet you actually visit an island named Eden Island. The tour is advertised as having professional guides who cater to your needs. Our group consisted of 30 members, and my wife and I were the only English-speaking guests, with the rest being German and Austrian. Our professional guide took their time addressing the majority in their language, and I had to ask three times for an explanation in English so my wife and I would be aware of the itinerary and plans. Their occasional laughter, as if remembering to speak to us in English, was quickly forgotten, and they catered to the masses, leaving us in the dark about what was happening most of the day. Soft drinks are provided on the boat, but you have to pour your own from large 3-litre bottles of fizzy drinks that go flat very quickly. Although the tour itinerary suggests that you can purchase alcohol at an extra cost, there was not a cold beer to be found anywhere on the boat or, in fact, on Eden Island when we landed. Instead, there was an array of shops, souvenir shops, ice cream shops, and juice bars where you could purchase items at exorbitant prices, in addition to the cost of the trip. The TripAdvisor/Viator advert for this tour states that you get limited soft drinks on the island, which simply is not true. You are informed when you get off the boat that you need to pay for anything you consume on the island. The same is true about the port departure fee; although advertised as included in the price when you bought it on the boat, you are told there is a $6 charge. After an average lunch, where many guests felt entitled to light up cigarettes while others were still eating next to them, we were taken to a snorkel spot with no fewer than 14 other boats, all filled with divers, snorkellers, and swimmers in the water over and around the reef. We decided it was safer for us to stay on the boat. We were so disappointed that many of the things advertised as included on this trip were not, in fact, included. We did not feel part of the trip, welcomed, or accommodated. I find it difficult to believe that this trip has received so many five-star reviews. If you are looking for a relaxing trip, sipping a cold beer and being spoken to in English, this is not for you. If your idea of a good day out is having ash flicked on you, smoking at mealtime, not being told lunch is ready, having your feet stepped on, people pushing in at snorkel time, drinking warm flat drinks that you need to serve yourself, people belching loudly, or watching one man place his hand down the front of his girlfriend’s bikini on the boat, then this is definitely for you.
