Very good, but I recommend not to book during the weekend because there are a lot of tourists. The guide named Sam gave good advice, slowly told the schedule, and got a new experience on the boat. I recommend preparing your body to be fit because the entrance to the cave is very steep.

I fully recommended this tour package, the trip was fully organized and we really enjoy every moment. Our tour guide namely Joey was great and not to forget the driver (cannot remember his name) was excellent on the road. The vegetarian blunch was prepared for us.

Paradise Elegance was fully booked, and we were upgraded to the Paradise Peak Suite Room, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. With only 14 guests onboard, the staff’s attention to detail was impeccable. The entire team—from the captain and bartender to the cruise manager and tour staff—was exceptional, making our trip truly memorable. The food was outstanding, with dishes like steak and lobster, and the tours were well-planned and enjoyable. Special thanks to Susan, who reached out to confirm our reservation and arranged the upgrade.
