Just do it! - The event was fun. David, our guide, was attentive and protective of his group. He made it an exceptionally good time. Don't miss the tour. And, if you get David, you'll be lucky.

Enjoyable sunny day at Baru Islands - The trip through Rosario Islands was nice as it was a sunny day, great for enjoying the beach. The tour was very well coordinated and Sergio was a great guide. The scuba diving experience is okayish and nothing compared to South East Asia. Also, you will be in chest deep water at the Baru Islands and if you don’t want to do anything there, you will just have to sit on the beach

Rosario Tour!! Great!! - Our guide Gabriel was great overall. He was knowledgeable and catered to both English and Spanish speaking alike. He explained everything well with the exception of Cholon. We didn’t realize we’re going to be in water chest deep there but we adapted really quickly. We wished we had more time at the last stop at Mambo Beach. The sand was powdery and water blue water. He prepped us for the onslaught of request for tips. At Mambo beach we were swarmed by the offer for massages. We eventually gave in to a $10 massage. We also took dramamine prior to the start of the trip to air on the side of caution for motion sickness. Great tour overall.
