One Hundred Stars! Don’t Miss This One

Published on Sep, 2023

This was the best tour ever. Hector and Delice were so kind and knowledgeable. Lunch was amazing, snorkeling was fun with the little sea lion colony right there, it couldn’t have been any better. Five stars is not enough. Balandra is gorgeous. Sunrider, Delice and Hector get all the praise. Run to the Marina Fonatur and don’t miss this one, especially if you like impromptu salsa dancing on the deck.
