Beautiful scenery - A fabulous experience. The boat was very comfortable. The islands were very appealing. Take your swimmers, the beach on Deserta Island is beautiful. Restaurants are welcoming and clean and serve delicious food. Of course you can take your own food and enjoy the scenery. Antonio was very knowledgeable, pointing out the wildlife and explaining the waterways in the park.

10/10!! - Monica & Sandra were amazing and super kind. They were able to book us into a trip last minute for my husband and me. Very knowledge. The trip with Antonio was awesome as well. Great boat tour that then takes you to islands and you get to have some food and chill by the beach. 10/10. Definitely worth it!
