Yesterday, August 27, 2022, we booked with this company to see the sunset, we are Eduardo and Yurena, thank you very much for how well you have treated us, we were surprised by the skill of the skipper of the boat, incredible, I was impressed by the caves and as we entered them, we thought it was impossible in one, but he managed to enter with the boat. The soft drink and the wine was a detail on their part. Thank you
