The tour was cancelled & no one told us or cancelled. When I called the tour guide they tried to blame me even though the tour was cancelled due to rough seas. They kept communicating with me to accuse me of going at the wrong time. It was strange. I did get my refund but continued to be harassed. While I understand a tour being cancelled I don’t understand the harassment.
A half day of full and absolute relaxation, we also found a really friendly group of tourists, great food and special staff. Thank you.
