“Really fun time! Beach was gorgeous and the guides were all kind and helpful. Great couples activity. I was expecting to get dirty but did not anticipate the large piles of poop in the road that were unavoidable. It was everywhere by the time we got to the beach. We rinsed in the ocean and then showered again at the end but nothing gets rid of the smell. Bring your own soap and hand sanitizer since none provided.”
