This was an all day tour of the island that made stops at some cool places that we enjoyed. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The ride through the desert landscape on the makeshift road was my least favorite part of tour. The snorkeling stop was my favorite part of the tour. We also stopped at a resort for a couple of hours where we ate lunch and did some swimming at the pool which was nice.
There were two things that made this trip not so great. The guide was 35 minutes late to pick us up from the cruise ship and no one bothered calling or texting me to let me know that they were running behind. The other thing is they carried us around all day on the back of a 50 year old heavy duty truck that had very stiff suspension. It was a rough ride to say the least and you climb up and down from the truck with a step ladder. Unfortunately, the Toyota Landcruiser that they have pictured in the advertisement for the tour is not what we got to ride around in.
A better tour vehicle would have made a huge difference in my satisfaction of this tour.
