Really enjoyed this trip. Saw many nesting frigate birds and blue footed boobies on the island. Guide was really knowledgeable. and we weren't rushed on the hike. Great snorkeling, small group, and guide was able to point out marine life. Also spent time on a beautiful beach. Crew was very friendly and made a delicious lunch. Would definitely recommend tour company and boat (promesa).

I am not sure if my trip is the same as this one or if it cost this much... but we were 20 people on a huge catamaran. A chef cooked us a delicious warm lunch. It was a day of the rich and famous! The fauna on North Seymour was postcard perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The Bacha Beach part was nice too. Pink flamingos, turtle nests, etc. but we did not have much time to snorkel.
