Why take the same old sightseeing tour as everyone else when you could experience all of this gorgeous scenery along with something a little extra, something out of the ordinary, something not usually associated with paradise? This tour is unique because cold cases aren’t solved by thinking and doing the same as everyone else. So we invite you to try something different! While we take in the natural beauty surrounding us and learn about the island, let’s also explore the whys, hows, and what ifs of unsolved crimes! And who knows, maybe you’ll be the next one to crack a case!
