The islands were beautiful as promised. Amazing trip! Our boat driver was rude and barked orders. He said he told my husband it was time to eat and my husband was sitting in his beach chair waiting for us to show up. The boat driver also did not communicate when it was time to leave one of the islands and we almost missed our boat. Other than that I would highly recommend the trip! Be ready for the cramped and crazy ride up the mountain!
