Casey was an awesome tour guide! It was awesome to check out the beaches and arches by way of kayak. The snorkeling piece was amazing!!!! So many beautiful fish to see. Would highly recommend this excursion to friends and family!

Great palace and gardens with water fountains.

The palace and gardens are great and we spent few hours for the whole tours. Unfortunately, the day we went there was too crowded and the queue was too long but it was very fast cleared for the entrance.

Great guide with good gear. First time in about 4-5 times snorkeling was actually a positive experience. Saw lots of fish and felt safe with good mask etc.

Great trip and just right amount of float and beach time for us. Casey was an excellent guide both on the float and in the van.

Me and my girls really enjoyed the hip hop boat cruise it was an awesome experience!
