Great experience with Alex the guide! - Everything was a great experience with our guide Alex! He did a fantastic job keeping everyone entertained when on the boat from island to island. He kept everyone informed of the itinerary and kept things moving along.

Trip with baby - We rented a private tour since we were traveling with a baby. From the moment we asked for information, Jesús, with first-class attention, explained the entire tour to us in detail and adapted to our needs, choosing a place to spend as a family.
On the day of the tour, our Guide, Sebastian, arrived for us at the hotel very punctual, all the time worried that we were comfortable and worried about the comfort of our baby, the boat was quite spacious and comfortable, and the beach club that they selected was excellent for us. for family.
100% recommended.

A mix of culture & fun mixed in One - Milton and crew were AWESOME host. We went on the tour on September 21, 2024. He guided us throughout tour, provided us with insights of the culture and history. We visited all 5 islands and I recommend if you go ask for Milton as tour guide... the tour will take up the entire day...

Right but not what we expected - The trip is not bad, but nothing remarkable. The organization very correct all the time and respecting schedules. The bad thing is the sites, the first place we stopped was Escobar's sunken plane (interesting dive), the second is a "bar" on a beach, which does not contribute anything, and it is for you to consume. The third is a better beach, quieter, and in which you are more comfortable. And the fourth was the place to eat, which is a nice beach and very rich food. Maybe it would have been better to go to one place, less crowded and to be all day.

FancyTours 5 Island Tour Review - Our experience was a mix of excitement and challenge. The guides were absolutely fantastic—friendly, engaging, and extremely helpful. They took the time to translate everything into English, ensuring we felt included and informed throughout the trip.
That said, this tour is not for the faint of heart! Be prepared for a rough ride—each leg of the journey comes with intense waves, sea spray in your eyes and mouth, and your hair/clothes getting completely soaked. If you're looking for a smooth, leisurely cruise, this might not be the best fit. However, if you love adventure and don’t mind getting drenched, it’s definitely an adrenaline rush!
The food was subpar and didn’t quite match the quality of the overall experience.
Overall, this tour is best suited for thrill-seekers who don’t mind a bit of rough water and are looking for an action-packed day. Just come prepared, and you’ll have a memorable experience!

September 2024 - They came late to pick us up and then rushed us on the bus to get to the boat. Everything was good at first but progressively got bad. I can’t remember the host name but he got so drunk he was falling over and couldn’t function. We got rained on badly after repeatedly saying we were ready to go back to the drop off location and could have made it before the storm. Nothing was given to us while being soaked. The food at the islands was mid but great experience. They host barley let us play our music on the boat although we were the guest but instead played the music he wanted to listen too. It was ok but everything could have been better.

Avoid at all costs! - Avoid at all costs. This was the worst island tour I have ever done. Terrible, inedible food, they take you to the worst parts of each island, all drinks and additional food are in way overpriced.

Keep your hands off it! - No recommendation. If you want a beautiful island tour with paradise beaches, this is unfortunately the wrong place.
You can expect a round trip to a party island with drunk people,extremely loud music, "snorkeling" without appropriate equipment in a dead coral reef. Lunch only around 2pm, so you can buy food beforehand.
And excessively crowded beaches with a lot of garbage.
My recommendation...not via Tripadvisor,but negotiates a price on site at the port and retains a part. If agreements are not respected.
90€ definitely too much money. And the request for a partial refund would be very aggressive.
