A Fantastic Excursion - Originally we had scheduled this excursion for 830am. We didn’t realize we weren’t getting to port until 1100 am We messaged the tour guides less than 12 hours before and they were so accommodating. They are excellent at communicating using: text, email and through the app. The excursion?? It was so awesome. It was a private tour guide Irving so knowledgeable and so kind! If you get Irving you are in good hands!! He picked up us from the port (waiting with our names on a sign). We took an air conditioned jeep around the island. We got to see the capital, and area where the locals live. About 30 min drive to the bee sanctuary. Once there we had a different private tour guide Cynthia: very smart, friendly and great sense of humor. We got to see and learn about vanilla, honey, bee cultivation and cocoa. They had stingless bees so we could get close and see their hives. The environment was tranquil and calming. We ground our own cocoa and made chocolate sauce when we mixed it with honey. Then tasted salsas and samples of organic beauty products. After that we drove another 10 min drive to the east side of the beach, where they had a beach side restaurant. No tourists, not crowded great service. We started with shots of tequila (2 each). My husband had a chicken quesadilla and a margarita and I had fish tacos and a mojito. They had a mariachi band come to our table and sing to us. After the meal we sampled 5 different types of tequila. We ended up buying a vanilla crème tequila. After that 15 min drive where the dropped us off right in front of the port. It’s was so lovely and my husband had a fabulous first time in Mexico! Highly recommended this!

Laid back and private - This was a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the resorts and downtown. They are curating an experience, not peddling sales. Our driver, Irving was very knowledgeable about the island and made the experience that much better.
