weather was perfect. a bit of train but I really love the arrangements and organisation. We had 2 great guides in Emily and Ariel. what i like is the duration at each stop is ample, between 50 min to 1 hour but off course this is due to the group was on time during departure at every stop. highly recommend this tour.

this is a great tour. if not because of the weather, I would have enjoyed it much more. it was raining the day before therefore couldn’t see much fish during snorkeling. but other than that, the kayak experience was good, the guides were friendly and helpful. and just some side info, most of the toilets at the islands don’t have fresh water. so need to set your expectations right.

We had a great trip with Sea Eagle. The guide and crew were friendly and English speaking who helped us with snorkeling with kids and even dived in when my dad's specs got lost in the sea. We enjoyed the trip much!
