We visited Isla Margarita back in February as part of a cruise and spent the day touring the island with Steve and Marcella. We were met at the entrance to the cruise port and taken directly back to the ship at the end of the day. Everything was fantastic - Steve and Marcella were excellent tour guides and were always prepared to go the extra mile to make the day special. It was my husband's birthday on the day we visited and Marcella had even gone to the trouble of decorating the car with balloons (which are not easy to come by in Margarita).

The highlight of the day? Definitely the boat trip at La Restinga. Let Steve and Marcella organise this for you and your party will be in a boat on your own, not jammed in with other people.

Do yourself a favour - avoid the organised tours and go out for the day with these guys. It's excellent value for money and will be an unforgettable experience.

We where in margarita from the 9th to the 24th of june this year.
Before we went we booked cruisin n style over the internet, after reading about it on trip advisor.It was the best decision we made.
Marcella and steve are wonderful.They will take you where you want to go ,and will answer any questions i.e best place to change money etc.
We booked the 6 hour trip and other than our day at Angel Falls this was the best day of our holiday.
I would recommend this trip to anyone who is going to margarita.
The couple are so friendly and helpful .Booking a trip with them will give you the best view of the island.Not the tourist only view that you get by booking through your holiday reps.
Thanks Marcella and Steve we had a great day.

We (2 couples) just returned from a 2 week stay at the Lagunamar resort. The trip was excellent with our only regret being unable to speak more Spanish. Before leaving home, I had pre-booked via email an 8 hour tour of the island with Marcella & Steve from Crusin-N-Style. Other options are 4 and 6 hour tours. Our tour was the highlight of our entire stay plus it was so beneficial in so many ways. Marcella & Steve are a very warm and friendly couple who speak perfect English & have lived on the island for 7 years so they are very familiar with both the language & the landscape. They picked us up at our resort in a roomy, air conditioned, Ford Explorer at 9:00 AM and brought us back at 5:00 PM for a total cost of $120.00 US. Before we started our tour, they asked us if there was anything specific we wanted to see or do. We said we wanted to get some good quality pearls for the ladies and we 2 gents wanted to arrange a day of deep sea fishing. We also had a wish list of different things to see but told Marcella & Steve, you are the guides so take us to whatever you recommend. It was amazing the amount of things we did & the sights we saw. It turned out one of the major benefits was the fact we decided how long we wanted to stay at any given place, unlike the Jeep Safari tours where you sit crowded in the back of an open air jeep, convoy style. On that type of tour, you have no say as to how long to spend at any given place as when the convoy is ready to pull out, you have to leave. Also, because of the large number of people, there is not the personalized service. Crusin-N-Style does not provide a meal or booze but we were welcome to purchase anything we wanted to eat or drink along the way. Since booze is so cheap, this was not an issue. We stopped for lunch around noon & the 4 of us each had a beer & sandwich for a total of $8.00 so again, not an issue. We were taken to a very reputable, family owned business where we were able to purchase certified, high quality pearls from a huge selection at very reasonable prices at a good exchange rate. Steve also took us to arrange our day of deep sea fishing. He looked after all the details including things I wouldn’t have thought of. He confirmed we would be picked up & dropped off at our resort, a meal & booze would be provided, we would be guaranteed to catch fish & most of all, we would be the only 2 passengers on the boat. All this for only $80.00 US each. The fishing trip turned out to be a very good experience & the shore lunch was fantastic. Steve also arranged for us to exchange some US cash & travelers cheques into Bolivars at a very good rate through one of his contacts. We spoke to others who decided to take other options to tour the island & when we compared stories, it was obvious that Crusin-N-Style is the way to go. If you plan to tour the island with Crusin-N-Style, book early as they are only 1 couple with 1 vehicle. Don’t hesitate to make your reservation from home before you leave.

After a truly magnificent memorable Lost World Adventure Tour on the mainland of Venezuela - thanks to Eclipse Holidays, we spent a week on the Island of Margarita staying at LagunaMar Hotel and Casino Resort.

Although this is such a lovely hotel (and would recommend to all) - after spending time in the jungle with no noise etc felt that we needed to leave the resort and venture out for the day.

We had pre-booked, via the internet, Steve and Marcella Tinsman of Crusin n Style, Margarita Island, what an excellent couple. They both met us at our hotel and from here we started our 6 hour tour of the island. They were so interesting and took us to some lovely non-tourist areas - Thank you Steve and Marcella for taking us on such a great day out and we truly recommend you to all.
