We went on this experience later than planned due to bad weather conditions, Carlos was very accommodating in rebooking us on a tour when the weather was better. It was well worth the wait as the two islands we saw were amazing and it was great to immerse ourselves in the culture, food and beauty of these two islands. José booked us a table on the fisherman’s island for lunch and the food was amazing as it was all locally sourced fish and produce. We got some amazing pictures as well as some good knowledge from josé. Would definitely recommend for others to try this boat trip as it was very relaxed and enjoyable experience.Friendly staff. Knowledgeable guide. Great tour. Interesting location. Went to a great beach location and fishermans island.

Booked the 3 island tour online that morning but was then called straight away to say it was fully booked. Carlos was extremely accommodating to the late request and managed to fit us in to the two island tour. The boat ride was great and William was an excellent guide/captain - a good balance of talking and giving information with just enjoying the ride. The chosen lunch stop was quite expensive but the food was good. Was lovely to wander and relax on the islands - would have happily had more time. A great way to spend half a day and our children (9 and 6) really enjoyed it too.Nice experience which we would recommend to others. The beaches, the boat tour and the houses on the islands were very nice.
