Swimming with the pink dolphins was amazing, the lunch in the village was great!! Thank you so much Fabio for this wonderful day!!!

It was a very nice and interesting trip. I didn't like one thing though. It was hard to get the pickup information from the guide, but GetYuorGuide stepped in and I got it. I am still giving 5 stars because all guides and assisting persons were exceptionally kind and helpful.
