It goes really fast and we had fun meeting all of our co-cookers. The instructor was very funny and her staff really kind and helpful. Overall, very enjoyable and recommend!”

Julia made some simple vegetarian meal but it was absolutely fabulous. Overall it was a great experience. Would do it again. Only suggestion is if they put in a few fishing rods as well cause if somebody doesnt want to get into the water for snorkeling or swimming they could just sit and relax holding a fishing rod. Anyway had loads of fun. Great day.”
