I'm a Japanese tourist. We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful ocean! Lunch was delicious, and I felt fine. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. ◎ It was a shared tour, and the boat was just big enough for just over 10 people, plus the driver/guide, the child helper, and the boat operator. There was a restroom. Pickup was almost on time, and I was worried about waiting a while after arriving at the dock to decide which tour to board first. I was worried, but the schedule wasn't rushed once we got on board, and we just enjoyed ourselves, arriving at the hotel on time. While the destinations we visited were crowded with other tour groups, as long as you followed your guide's instructions, you won't be left behind. We snorkeled on two islands, and the fish were swarming and the water was crystal clear! It had been a while since I'd last swam, but I felt safe with a life jacket. It rained during November, but it wasn't cold. It's better to have water shoes, as you'll have to walk through shallow water to get to the island at low tide. There were reviews about people being sold seafood at high prices, and the guide warned us at the beginning, but we didn't encounter any such incidents. Lunch consisted of rice, shrimp, shellfish, fish, chicken, bananas, and watermelon, and everything was delicious! The food was already prepared and served on plates on the boat's tables, so there was no need to reheat it, but we didn't feel any particular health issues. Bottled water was also available. I think this is a great tour if the weather is good!
