We were collected from our hotel from a friendly driver. Arriving at the port our driver took us into the office and explained to the staff who we were. The boat was very clean. Staff were friendly and made our trip enjoyable. Food and drink on board was excellent.
We were not able to get to see the islands as described. Hi swells and dangerous conditions forced us to turn back. No compensation, no alternative, and skippers know the seas and the weather, yet they insisted that all will be well. Some good musical entertainment by a crew member lightened the mood. Won't do it again.
Info said a maximum of 8 travellers - we had 30. The boat's captain sat on the rear steps for the entire journey nursing what looked like a massive hangover and finally we spent 90 minutes going round in circles on the ocean on the way home because the steering broke down and had to be jury rigged to allow us to limp home. Eventually we had to transfer to another boat which was one of the hariest manoeuvres you will ever experience. You'd be mad to consider going with these cowboys!
Excellent trip - cannot fault it in away way., Great weather, great crew, great good, great drink. The only issue was when we departed from the Catamaran, our taxi driver was not there. Waited half an hour for him but he never appeared. Ended up paying for another taxi to take us back to our hotel. The taxi to the excursion and back again were included in our price.
Fantastic weather, great crew made for an unforgettable day. We were collected from hotel promptly and taken to Grand Bay were we set sail. The staff were helpful throughout the day and meal was delicious, they even catered for me being vegetarian, would highly recommend this tour and Eco Holidays :)
