Very average

We were picked up in a bus with 30+ people and then taken to the boat where we waited an hour before we left. A lot of time is spent waiting in large groups. The islands are very nice and definitely worth the visit but better to take the public ferry that runs at regular times.

I would say skip the tour. It consisted of 30 minute wait on the boat before we left the dock, then an hour ride to the first island which could be missed all together. There is nothing to see or do there. Then we took the boat another 15-20 minutes to the big island and spent 3 hours there. After a 1/2 hour walk around I just sat and drank a beer to wait for lunch lunch was best part of trip and for the time to run out. You get free time to explore on the island. I do not blame the tour guides for this, as I don't think any guide could make it appealing. When you leave the island, you get to ride 1.25 hours back to the other side and then side in van and fight traffic before getting dropped off. On a good note, the guide Tulip was great. She tried! This is 8 hours of my life that I will not get back!!!
