I think this is a new tour & they need to work the kinks out to be worth the price. Some of the issues may have been with the guide they hired (Ruben) - external to their company because they needed the interpreter. First, the mangrove tour was outstanding - truly unique and amazing. That +lunch and the trip would have been worth $300. There was miscommunication btw the company & the guide re: lunch and they would have skipped all the rest if I hadn't pushed. He refused to even visit the turtles (it is in Jan and should have been babies, but even if not been good to see the sanctuary). Beach was only for a few minutes at my insistence, not the hours at the beach and hotel. Ok for me b/c I had dinner plans but fyi if you are thinking of it. Then they took pix of me to use for promo and said they would send to me but then gave me the wrong address. To be clear, the guide was nice, funny, and informative for the most part; issues were with communication w the tour company and forgetfulness. (asked my name 5x in addition to itinerary issues) Driver Carlos was great and helpful as possible. If you pay the full 580 USD make sure to keep an eye on itinerary.
