Caves, Turtles & Beaches trip!
To be honest I don't think this tour is worthwhile, that's just based on what i had experienced. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children. When you travel with youngsters, their enjoyments + disappointments = your.
The Hato Cave, it was just okay due to the condition inside, very humid and hot 🥵. You can't take pictures from chamber 1 to 4, that was an disappointment, but I understand. You can take pictures in chamber 5 and 6.
The turtles beach ⛱️ was a huge disappointment. It was overly crowded, not enough time to enjoyed, only 45 minutes, you will need to pay for everything, chairs, restrooms, and just to be near the 🐢 turtles. Eventhough, this is a public beach, but there are 2 guys, they acted like they owned this place. They will not let you come closer to the turtles unless you pay depending $5 -$10. Very rude, I have to admit 😤. The only things I loved at this place ❤️ smoothies and foods were delicious, price is decent.
Playa Porto Mari, this beach is beautiful, I can't deny. You can stay here for 2 hours. Entrance is free. You will need to mention name of your tour guide. Beach Chair💺 is $3 each. Get your drinks and foods when you arrive because the wait can be long. Price is a bit pricey.
We only saw 1 🐖 pig when we arrived, but it was not at the beach, it slept in the mud puddle. We later saw 4 more before we left. They walked near the bus. It's my recommendation, if you want amazing pictures, try to swim or walk further to the left side where you see an abandoned ship. The rocks & clear water looks spectacular.
Lastly, a stop to see flamingos. Due to the time, we were able to see some, but in a very very far away distance. I tried to maximize my camera, but still unable to take a good photo.
To conclude, our tour guide is great, he is amazing and highly knowledgeable about all these places. I learned a lot from just listening to Bob M. I have to give full credit to him. 😊
