Expect several chances to swim or snorkel, close views of cliffs and caves, and a lively ride that can bounce on the waves. Skippers including Andy and Cesar have led trips.

“Our boat captain was so skilled at manipulating the boat to make the tides bumpy enough to catch air and be fun, but not enough to make us seasick- which I routinely am. The coves were clear and beautiful. Definitely take meclizine beforehand though!”

The Sinua market visit was very enjoyable and held a wide variety of offerings from lace blouses to olive wood utensils! There was also entertainment in the market adding to the festive ambiance and the pricing on most items was very good. I only wish I'd had more room in my suitcase to bring things back home. Our guide was very thorough in his knowledge and did an excellent job organizing while in the field and narrating on the bus. We went by many…”
