Excellent service!
- Recommended for
- 1. All aspects of the service in the ship are dedicated and detail-oriented. 2. When on the boat, the navigator will pay attention to the sea surface and guide everyone to watch in time. 3. Our English is not very good, and the dive guide will explain patiently.

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

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!

The boat crew and guide made our experience that much more amazing
The fact that we had such fast paced itinerary to see as much as possible was the best thing of all. All the activities were fun and interesting, with the exception of paddle boarding which we were promised and the boat didn’t have them
