The tour was as good as we expected. We checked the reviews before choosing this provider and we were expecting to be in a small boat with more people than capacity but that was not the reality. We fitted comfortably in the boat and the length of the tour was perfect as it did not feel too short or long at all. We bought in advance a snorkeling mask but when we reached the activity time we were surprised on the amount of masks the guide had already and they even provided us with a dispensable extension for the tube where you breath in the mask that eliminated any hygiene issues. Food was decent and the 4-5 stops were quite beautiful and made it a perfect day. Thank you!

Really enjoyed this tour, the ride in the long boat was beautiful, our guide and his team really took care to ensure we knew the schedule and that everyone was back on boat the boat after each island visit. There was a good amount of time spent at each island and the lunch was really delicious.

I love this tour and the team was lovely, very friendly and nice with us. I am now taking another trip with this amazing team Go Sea Eagle Tour

I am from Mexico, we loved this excursion, excellent time to snorkel and enjoy the beaches, lunch also very good, highly recommended.
