“The groups were too big and too close together when snorkelling looking for turtles. Everyone was kicking everybody in the face. At one point I was left behind with another group because the groups are too goes together. They did come look for me, which was great, but if the groups were smaller, this trip would’ve been much more enjoyable. Our tour guide Eugene was amazing. Very funny. It went out of his way to ensure we all had a great time.”
