From meeting guide which was chaotic, transport which had so little space between seats, to organisation at Baru island and stay at club which is run down, very little space outside between beds/chairs/swings (not possible to swing as there isn’t space to move swings - just for photos). Manager Julia was fine in beginning but when we asked for refund or compensation since one member of our party couldn’t come, she said she isn’t manager and refused to talk to us. We had mangrove, raccoons and snorkelling activities planned but managed to go 5minutes by boat to mangrove to see raccoons for about 10minutes and then go by boat…”

“O pôr-do-sol visto de dentro do mar é muito bonito e especial. Ficamos muito felizes por ter tido essa experiência. A equipe do veleiro é atenciosa e gentil, durante todo o passeio estiveram preocupados com as pessoas abordo e o bem-estar de todos. É uma experiência interessante, mas para quem tem medo de barco ou passa mal durante travessias eu não recomendo. Venta bastante e o veleiro fica instável, gerando movimentos contínuos para os lados, as vezes dando a impressão de que algo pode acontecer.

“L’excursion était terrible. Pendant le trajet, des colombiens ont entourés le véhicule pour intimider les touristes à leur donner de l’argent. Nous étions terrorisés. Une fois sur place, nous avons mangés le repas fourni et nous avons été malade. Enfin, lors du tour en bateau, nous étions très très coincés. Le bateau était bien trop remplis, mon gilet de sauvetage était brisé et s’attachait pas. Enfin, il n’y avait pratiquement pas de plancton. J’ai déjà vécu l’expérience dans un autre pays et je sais c’est supposé ressembler à quoi.”
