“I did the sunset tour. The pick up and drop off was seamless. Everything went as planned! We went to two different lagoons. It’s an incredible park. The ride there is bumpy so be sure to secure your items. The guide didn’t seem speak much English, but it wasn’t barrier. I would suggest a translator on your phone if you’re English speaking. Or as in our group there were people who could translate. Definitely worth the visit. I’d do it again!”
