It was very fun and the guides were very excited to give you detailed information about the whole island, fish, caves, etc. You could really see that they passionate about that and were having fun doing it :) In my opinion there is no need to bring own water or snacks on the trips, the guides gave us a fruit snackbar and a can of vitamin water, which really gave us the needed power boost :)…”
