The perfect five days
We loved our five days on board. The amount of activities was just perfect and always getting greeted with drinks and snacks when coming back to the boat was something that probably spoiled us forever. The crew was outstanding and we would go back in a heartbeat.

We loved this trip!
A trip that we’ve dreamt of for many years! Our experience was excellent. For a small boat, the Orion was quite comfortable and our crew was great. We had a very knowledgeable and entertaining naturalist, Fabricio. All were patient and helpful with us. We could visit many different locations for snorkeling and / or hiking, letting us see a wide range of flora and fauna. Each day was packed with information and activity. We loved it! Thanks Orion and crew!

Great experience
We had many activities, entertaining and beautiful. Yes we would recommend to our friends, but it is important to mention that it is not 5 days, because the last one, hopefully is 2 hours and it is only 1 activity, being that on the same route there are 2 more points that in all tours are done together (El Junco and Puerto Chino)
- Recommended for
- The service and attention of the crew. After each activity we were greeted with drinks and snacks. Activities in general.

A fantastic trip to check off many bucket list items
Very organized and I loved the size of the boat, perfect amount of people…the food was fantastic and all the activities were well planned…loved both the hiking and the snorkelling and especially liked that you returned to the boat between most activities so if you wanted, you didn’t have to participate in everything…worked well for some of the older guests. Overall, had a fabulous time, learned lots, saw more and fulfilled many lifetime dreams….shoutout to our guide Fabricio and to Johnny….they were fabulous
