Cruise from Leeward Marina to uninhabited cays with Caribbean Cruisin guides such as Captain Jerry, John, or Anderson. You’ll snorkel for conch and shells, visit a sandbar or Iguana Island, enjoy snacks and drinks, and watch the crew prepare fresh conch ceviche.
“Overall the trip was really fun and great. the captain and his partner was very nice and friendly and made the trip enjoyable. However, the boat pickup was 30minutes late and nobody reached out to us and I had to call them to make sure it was still happening. When we were finally picked up there was no apology or reason given so I was bit on the fence about the trip in the beginning. But it all turned out well and we had a great time.”

“I, myself am dutch, but I played this game together with my boyfriend who speaks english. By that we chose the english version, but sadly some parts of the game were not well translated and it was pretty clear that the dutch version was translated by google translate, because some sentences just didn't make sense. Also 4 questions were about dutch things, which a non dutch person could not have known the answer to. For that we can't recommend this game in another language than dutch and it is definetly not worth 31 euro.”
