“The day was great, picked up in a lovely car with a friendly driver. Was taken up towards the boat where we met Radsheed who was the most helpful and pleasant young man. Had a great trip seeing the fish, chose not to see the dolphins as the ocean was so choppy due to the high winds. Fruit on the boat was lovely and had a great dinner on the beach. Great experience 5*”
