DO NOT BOOK THIS EXCURSION!
It was truly horrendous, unsanitary and unsafe.
My family and I went. Three sons aged 10, 7 and almost 2 years old. My son was holding the food on the skewer as instructed. (We have done this prior and had NO issues) the pig charged and attempted to attack him twice.
The first snap missed his arm because I was able to pull him completely away. The pig came back for a second attempt and my son didn’t have the food at that time as I took it away and was holding it up as instructed. The tooth grazed his arm, as I again snatched my son away from danger. If I didn’t intervene he would have been severely bitten.
The staff was alerted in the moment and did nothing. I witnessed at least two other families voice concerns to staff as well and were essentially ignored.
The pigs raided the staff cooler eating snacks and soda making the food and snacks storage container unsanitary and unsafe for consumption. The ad says unlimited snacks and drinks which can not be safely consumed due to the danger of being attacked by the wild pigs. They literally will charge at you for the food. The pigs were not trained or responsive to the “rules “ we were educated on when arriving.
The staff was also reckless in allowing the jet skis, banana boats to be operated in the same area as people swimming. The one jet ski was not working properly and did not turn to one side. Again reported and ignored by staff.
The island itself was filthy with trash all over the place. A visible ladder by the shore line.
Again we have done excursions in the past and have never experienced this.
I reported all of the above to Viator and was given a $220.20 refund. Which is completely disappointing and unsatisfactory. My excursion cost over $1200. I was unable to provided pics because I was literally carrying my terrified children to keep them away from the wild pigs that were untamable. I couldn’t turn my back for a second and honestly taking pics was not at all my priority and super disappointing to have that used against me.
