“The staff on the boat are really friendly and helpful especially Jack. Very funny guy. You have plenty of drinks and the food was amazing. I didn't like the kayak bit so I only saw one island. James Bond Island was so small compared to the ones around it. You get the chance to swim to cool off and watch the sunset.”
