We had a wonderful time on this excursion. We were given an excellent history of the island as well as information about food, groceries, schooling, road systems etc. The boat tour was refreshing. We did not snorkel…it would have been difficult for us to climb the small ladder back onto the boat. Instead we swam at the beach and had a few cocktails at the bar. We docked at Mahogany Bay. Independent tour guides are not allowed to come to the port area for pick up. We took a taxi down the steep hill to meet our guide. The cost was $2 US per person but well worth it. The tour was allowed to drop us off at the port area on return. There were 14 clients plus the guide and driver and we found the van rather cramped and difficult to climb over to get into the back seats. Talia was an excellent guide. She was very friendly, spoke very well and had a great sense of humour. We all enjoyed her commentaries and our conversations with her. We were back on the ship in plenty of time.
