The drinks are unlimited too. The beer was cold and the sangria was lush! Soft drinks available too. We changed course due to weather and sea conditions being a bit rough /windy and they took us to a lovely peaceful bay with calm waters so we could swim/ snorkel / paddleboard and jet ski. The snorkel and boards were included, the jet ski was extra but worth it! 10/10 from us. Thank you!”

However, my partner and I did the banana boat together. I fell off after 5 seconds, and the guide didn’t collect me. Left stranded in the water, he continued. Shortly after they finished and then the guide came back to collect me. Overall, the banana boat was not enjoyable, too short.”
