My tour - Snorkeling with the whale shark with Gluup was absolutely fantastic! Right from the pickup to drop off was smooth and hassle-free. A special mention for Ricky, our guide who was one of the best tour guides I have ever seen. He ensured everyone was feeling okay when a few on board got sea sick. He ensured I had the closest and the safest encounter with the Whale Shark! Thank you for an Incredible experience. Keep it up, Ricardo! Mucho Gracias 🙏
