“Beautiful lagoon swim - It was raining when we arrived, but they drove us to the lagoon where the clouds opened up. We had to cut our tour short a bit because our cruise ship was leaving earlier than originally planned, but our guide made us get back on time and still did everything. The tacos at the local place were amazing.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-25
