5 IslandVIP 1 Tag: Bocachica, Privatinsel, Schnorcheln, Cholon, Baru

Amazing tour group. Some drinks included, food subsidized with a food voucher, and just overall a great day. All the islands were great, well managed, and the staff was fantastic. Big shout to Franklin, our guide.

Milton and Brian were fantastic. The friendliest hosts you could have. You couldn’t have better guides. The wait beforehand was 2 hours and they only tell you about taxes and ‘optional payments’ once you have booked though.

Had a lot of fun. Definitely not a peaceful environment but went with the flow. The guides were cool and really wanted everyone to have a good time. All the resorts were nice although very rustic. The snorkeling was nice but you must be a good swimmer because you only get a snorkel and a mask. Can’t get away from the harassment, overall it wasn’t too bad. Lunch was great. We paid extra to get a fried fish which was very good and the coconut rice was delicious. We picked a tour that excluded Cholon but they oversold the tour and put us with the tour that included it, luckily we only spent 20 min there. I didn’t get in the water, we waited by the drop off until we left. Too many people cramped in a very small area, who knows what is in the water. I saw two women walking out of the water bleeding. The island was dirty with trash everywhere (which is what I read on other reviews). Makes me sad to see how they are destroying the mangroves. The next day we spoke with a local who said 4 people have died there this year after getting hit by the motors of another boat. Not a safe place but we just waited it out and carried on with the tour.
