We booked the private Whale watching tour and had an amazing day. Our driver was on time, which was a good start. It saved a lot of time not having to stop at all the hotels to pick people up. I was a little nervous when I saw how small the boat was we’d be out in but the local guide and captain were great. The best part is that we could see 360 degrees so wherever there was a whale spotted, we could see it. Our guide, Jose, anticipated well how the whales would come up next, so we got a lot of sightings. On Bacardi Island he got us oriented and settled and then we got to let them know when we were ready to go. In all, a great experience! Highly recommend for anyone that doesn’t want to be part of the big tour bus experience!

Pick up was delayed and a bit confusing on where we needed to go during the activity and who to come back with but the activities themselves were very enjoyable. Staff very friendly. We did ziplining which had 12 lines and then monkeyland. They did not have veggie option for snacks.

This was the best part of my trip! The natural pool and island was amazing! My mom has a little trouble getting around and they were so kind an accommodating, I truly appreciate it.

Super well done, very pleasant and respectful of animals.

We had a great experience! Would definitely recommend!!
