“Alex was truly the highlight of our holiday! From start to finish, he turned our boat trip into an unforgettable experience. His incredible knowledge and expertise meant we learned so much along the way, but what really stood out was his warmth, energy, and genuine passion for what he does. Alex has that rare gift of making everyone feel special — nothing was ever too much trouble, and he went above and beyond to make sure every single one of us was comfortable, happy, and having the time of our lives. Thanks to him, we didn’t just have a boat trip — we made memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re lucky enough to have Alex as your guide, you’re guaranteed a truly exceptional day!”

First off we were told to park at this hotel that wanted to charge us $78 to park. We parked 5 blocks down and had to walk with all our gear. We were supposed to meet the captain at 845 he didn't show up till 930. He didn't really understand English and didn't communicate to us what he was doing. This trip say island hopping. He took us to one island with no beach. It was the bay side and not nice at all. We finally went to a sand bar and spend the rest of our time there. when we asked about island hopping we were told they only do the one island. we paid about 1k for this trip. I wasn't impressed at all. Then we paid for an extra hour on the sand bank and got shorted because we were half hour away from the dock. They had no Water toys. just a water float mat.
