“Snorkeling was only for 9 min. My watch recorded the swim time. The motor broke on the boat upon arrival to isla nothing was told to us and we had to sail all the back. Took us almost 2 hours to sail back, we were starving, a lot of people had to use the bathroom that was absolutely disgusting. The sun went down so it got pretty chilly. I felt so bad for the kids that were on there.”
