He took us to multiple scenic locations with incredible views of the mountains and bays, including a stop to snorkel with sharks and rays. We even spotted a few turtles at the second to last stop! Tini set a great pace, fast enough to be thrilling, but we always felt safe. 100% recommend this excursion, absolutely worth it!!!”

“This was an amazing experience, we did the Quad ride in the morning and the jet ski in the afternoon. Both guides where great, Fred was especially funny and made this a really memorable experience. We were the only 2 doing the Quad ride in the morning so it was like a private tour, I think this was just the luck of the day because I couldn't understand why more people would not want to do this. If you are thinking about doing the Quad ride I wouldn't hesitate as this is unforgettable. The jet ski tour was also really good and would be suitable to all, we had 4…”
