“We had an amazing time! We'd booked onto the 1pm time and had an email the morning of the trip that the time had changed (so keep an eye out for this as we almost missed it). The staff were incredible and friendly, they really brought the tour to life. The snorkeling was great, we spotted a few turtles which was amazing (first time I've done a tour and actually seen some!) and the pigs were awesome!! We were taken to a beach club on Rose island where we had drinks and food and interacted with the pigs. I would 100% recommend this company :) 10/10!”
