Guides such as Joel and Naomi add island history and humor. Beach location can vary, so confirm the final stop when booking.

“Trip to the beach was awesome. Snorkeling was amazing for being a public beach. The guides were fantastic. Knowledgeable and funny. The cave was ok. Kinda warm, can't take pictures, our tour had a lot of older people and there is quite a bit of stair climbing and uneven walking surfaces that slowed things down significantly.”

“Chose this for a group of 16 because it had a great mix of caves, swimming with turtles, and beach time, and everyone loved it! Our guide Emma, a retired teacher, was friendly, knowledgeable and genuine, and she brought pictures of the different turtles, fish, etc we would see. NOTE: they should tell you you need to be able to climb up and down 49 uneven rocky steps to get to the cave and 2 of our group had to stay outside ( there was a nice rest area) and you should bring aqua shoes as the beach where you snorkel is very rocky!! But the last beach is beautiful…”
