“We enjoyed the full day tour a lot. Our driver took us to many beautiful view points around the island. He was a great driver, and had a lot of skill navigating the curvy mountain roads. He suggested a special stop for lunch with a beautiful view in Santana, which was less touristy. The sea pools were very fun to see. If you want to swim I suggest saving time for this spot and bringing along a swim suit and towel. The views around the island are gorgeous and you feel like you are seeing everything from the east to the west coast!”
