“The crew was excellent but I find for the price it was not that good of an experience basically 60 of the time was travelling from port to another area to jump off the boat which was really close to port and comeback to port and it’s done, I would expect to bring us to a more secluded location with a beach but it’s ok it was still a good experience”

“La ponctualité une heure de retard pour le départ. Pas d’info de la part de l’équipe. Manque de respect sur le bateau, un groupe d’allemand ont fait la fête sur le bateau avec un manque de respect pour tous les autres passagers. Bref cette activité est juste une pompe Afrique au mépris de d passagers. À éviter”
