Outstanding trip and beautiful 7 mile beach
Excellent and thoroughly enjoyable trip around the island. Gio was a fantastic guide and gave a really interesting commentary during the tour. The finish of the trip at 7 mile beach is somewhere you must visit, shame it is only for an hour there as it is beautiful.

West Bay Sightseeing Tour Plus Seven Mile Beach Visit
Our cruise ship didn’t dock until 8:30 and tour started at 9am. By the time we arrived it was 9:30 but they picked us up and took us to the in progress tour. The tour guide was wonderful. He explained a lot of interesting facts about the island. My only suggestion would be to start the tour later than 9am.

Seven Mile Beach Getaway
Leo was awesome. We learned fun facts on the way to the beach and the rum cake factory. We could have done without the extra stops so we could have more time to stay at the beach but overall it was worth it! Beach was beautiful! We were a large group and they were able to keep us all together so we would do it again and the complimentary snorkel gear was a plus!

Very Nice Day on Seven Mile Beach

Seven Mile Beach Getaway
It was easy to find our guide as promised. He led us to an air-conditioned bus, offered us bottled water and took us on a ride. The Rum Cake factory was closed for renovations so we visited a new "look out " structure. It was nice. We departed the bus near the shoreline of the Seven Mile Beach. One is left to do business with the guys to operate the beach chair and umbrella business. Not a problem. The guys were most accomadating. It was a wonderful time. We were there maybe 2 1/2 hrs. at most. Our guide was very professional and good natured. The company was Amvivos. We will be back in December and will book with them again.
