Helpful and friendly staff, highly recommended
We changed our booking on the spot and opted for a trip to the Calajunculla caves and beach. It was a fantastic experience. Captain Giovanni was extremely kind and accommodating to our requests, so much so that he extended the trip so we could watch the sunset and take photos off the Marina Grande beach. We were also lucky enough to have the transparent boat all to ourselves (there were five of us). Highly recommended!
