“We were greeted by Laura who took us to the boat and her father Tony took us on out tour. The boat was clean and he had snorkel gear and he had drinks for us which was a pleasant surprise!

After about 30 minutes of this frustration, the boat captain phoned, apologized and told us where to drive to meet him. Then he took us, and other passengers we did not expect, to a different boat. Instead of boarding from a dock, we had to first ride in an inflatable launch, then have a difficult boarding by…”
