Wonderful time! Do this if you want a highly educational, fun experience! - If you do one excursion, this is the one to do. It was a wonderful blend of education and fun. Eliot was hands-down, the most informative tour guide of any I have experienced in my 20 years of cruising. My husband, teenage boys and myself really enjoyed the entire day. The food was amazing and the lagoon was relaxing. Overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend.
