“It was such a wonderful tour! We loved that it was a private transport. You arrive to the lagoon before dark because Winston wants to make sure you are on one of the first boats out. We liked that we were able to the area in daylight and relax a bit before the boat ride. The lagoon was amazing! We went on a full moon which was not recommended and the lagoon was still so bright and blue! It is really worth experiencing.

The transportation itself was 138 USD for two persons. That is why I don’t consider this as a tour. Please be aware of this detail that is not very specific in the tour details.”
