A light meal is served at a sea restaurant before the cruise back. Hotel pickup is included, and guide Pedro has led tours in English, French, and Spanish.

“The pick up coach was really nice inside and on time. Our guide Pedro spoke English, French and Spanish. Doctor fish before the boat were an ok experience. The moment we got on the boat we were instantly ushered to start our first activity (they split and rotate the group) mine was massage and honestly within 3 mins of stepping on the boat the massage started. It was 30 mins i believe. Wasn’t the best massage on earth but pleasant and just nice to have a massage on a boat. Then did the other activities, the Pilates was just some breathing and light stretching. Didn’t feel rushed at any point.…”
