There are no showers or changing rooms so come in your swim suit already. Guides were courteous and fun! Did their best to make sure everyone had a great time :-)

What an incredible experience! Our tour guides were amazing, fun, and helpful. I wanted to swim while we were visiting lovers beach and one of our guides, who is also a lifeguard, got in the water with me and helped me feel comfortable. They also made sure to get a few photos of each of us in front of the arc.

JL and Emelio were our guides. My wife and I had a blast. She got to swim off the calm side of lover's beach which really made it special for her. Views were amazing.

There wasn’t much communication between the guides and the group. They never asked if anyone was a first time kayaker. The instructions that were given on where to be picked up wasn’t clear. All it said was across the street from the hotel’s exit. Not something like there will be a person with a sign or a certain color clothing or driving a certain vehicle and color.
