    "Nice boat trip. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy snorkeling, but that's a personal preference and therefore has no influence on my rating. After an encounter with a jellyfish, I was well taken care of with cream. If you enjoy snorkeling or would like to try it, I would recommend it."Ramona, September 22, 2025
