“Great day of fun. Three different swim spots. Generous food and alcohol for the day. Owe them some gratitude. We booked this not realizing the meeting spot is a 30 minute drive from the cruise terminal (chat GPT had assured me otherwise 😉). They were helpful when we arrived late and missed the boat, routing us to the beach where the first stop was, and the rest of the day went off without a hitch. But overall highly recommend.”
