Our Isla Bonita Delux Tour on 12-28-22 began with hotel pickup at 6:45am and ended with hotel drop off about 6:45pm! Everything was wonderful - but our English speaking guide Eddy, was the best! He was so personable, informative, and helpful throughout the entire day and he was always available and happy! Our boat was full, but not crowded. We had a delicious breakfast of ceviche, cheeses, cold cuts, breads, and fruit. The drinks (beer, rum, sodas) were available nonstop on the boat and on the island. The first stop at the Natural Pool is shallow, warm, and beautiful! The champagne toast afterwards is fun and the boat crew was awesome! We snorkeled with a guide around Paradise Island and then hung out on the sand bar with fruit and drinks for over an hour. It became a little crowded but everyone was considerate and it was fun taking photos and soaking up the sun! We got back on the boat and headed to Punta Rucia for our delicious buffet lunch that included shrimp and lobster. Our tour ended with a stop at a cigar factory/gift shop where we got to sample Mama Juana.
I’m so glad that we chose Camel Safari Exploring for our trip out to Cayo Arena and I’m glad we chose the “delux” or VIP version. I don’t think the speedboat tour would have been nearly as relaxing and fun! We appreciated the patient guides, great food and drinks, comfortable boat, and hotel pickup. We definitely recommend Camel Safari Exploring!
