If we could, we would have loved to be able to stay on each island just a little bit longer, especially Orange bay, as there’s so many places to take great photos there and then you run out of time to just relax. Otherwise wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you for a great day out!!”

Our captain Ganala was very good at taking us around in the speedboat in a professional manner, unfortunately he tried his best to call the dolphins but they didn’t come. Next time hopefully 😎. Overall I would recommend this trip for everyone as it was a 10/10 for me.”

The boat we were on was beautifully maintained and felt luxurious - had a good amount of passengers on but didn't feel overfilled. Paradise island was lovely, although pricey our guide Jr was very helpful, stayed nearby and would have helped negotiated prices if we'd have needed to. Food at the restaurant was lovely, something for everyone and we got an extra welcome drink for booking through GYG. Snorkeling was also an incredible experience, both my children were nervous but the instructors couldn't do enough for them and made sure they were well…”
