“Andrew and his crew really enjoy their job and it shows, they made the trip. I couldn't fault a single thing, pick up and do of at the hotel, lovely boat trip to Orange Bay (this trip leaves earlier so you are 1st there before all the other boats arrive) scuba diving and snorkeling at 2 beautiful spots. The provided lunch was good as well. I would do this trip again.”
