“The crew was nice and welcoming, but the speedboat was crowded and it was really bumpy, the boat is not comfortable at all, the 3 of us spend 2 days with back pain after the trip, one of the other tourist hurt his back pretty badly and have to leave the trip in the middle on a regular ferry to probably go to the hospital. Be aware that if you want to see the lagoon closer you will need to rent a longtail boat there with an extra cost, otherwise you will need to be waiting outside the bay on the boat for about 45min, be prepared”
