“The trip was superb! They skipper, Joseph, was really fun and engaging, obviously loves his job! The tour itself was spot on, I particularly loved the half hour snorkeling in the incredibly transparent crystal lagoon . The blue lagoon was beautiful too and not as crowded as I had feared. The sea caves were so interesting. Overall a fab experience, highly recommend. It cost just a little more than a round trip to the blue lagoon on the standard ferry, but so much better. Thank you so much!!!”
