“Erik was the best photographer, Chaka was the best guide, and Julio (the captain, I think that's his name) was the best driver. All of them spotted a school of sting rays - which I don't think is very common for them to see because they had their phones out recording, so seeing the sting rays leap and swim was a huge plus!!! The experience overall was extraordinary. Plenty of time to snorkel around, kayak, paddle board, and use the sea scooters in the area was good. Waters a bit rough, no encounters with jelly fish. Food at the end with quesadillas, beans, and chili paste / salsa was really…”
