Contoy was an island paradise - We loved that this tour was a smaller group than some that we saw. If you are prone to getting sea sick, this tour may not be for you, especially if the water is rough. The boat isn’t large and the boat ride to the island was an adventure. The waves were up and we all got wet, some more than others. We arrived at the island and there was only one or two smaller boats, so there were lots of options for shade. The water was stunning and calm, zero seaweed, exactly what you’d picture it to be, with the beach lined in palm trees. After less than an hour, much larger boats started arriving, so it was nice that we arrived earlier and had it almost to ourselves. I brought food with me because I’m not a fan of buffets, but they had everything behind glass and they dish your plate with whatever you want. The food was surprisingly really good. One of our guides took us on a tour and we learned about the mangroves, crocodiles, and some plants and insects. Then she took us to the top (it was an easy stroll up a small hill) and it was amazing to see how rough and wild the ocean was on the opposite side compared to the protected cove. There were lots of frigates flying overhead, which was cool to watch. The path also had a great photo opportunity of the beach. We really loved the experience, it was exactly what we needed.

Not worth the price. bad! - Bad value for money. The tour was on a small boat, poorly organized and rushed. Very little flexibility and freedom.
