“Guided tour - Amanda was great. She picked us up just outside the cruise terminal and transported us safely and professionally to our horseback excursion and then to our rafting excursion. Both excursions were magical. Amanda waited patiently for us at each location. She then stopped us for some jerk chicken and rice. Probably the best jerk chicken I ever had. Highly recommend Amanda. Great communication as well.” - Reviewed at 2025-03-01
