Very rude and unprofessional. The organiser Maria seems to be a drama queen, she kept on shouting at us and other guests on arrival at the pick up point. The pick up itself was 45 mins late than committed. While on the trip, they were short of snorkelling equipments and life jackets. The experience was a big let down considering it is an expensive tour. Also when we came back to the marina at Eden, there was some fight between the J'adore team and a local person claiming that he had not been paid by them for services rendered. Overall a day in paradise that was ruined by an unprofessional service.
