Perfect day, perfect island. The weather was gemreat, the water as blue as can be. An amazing day and we got to feel what it’s like to be starnded on an island. Please, respect the nature - we colected a bag of garbage while walking on the beach. This island deserves better

Great value for the money. Transportation was efficient and very comfortable. We enjoyed having the day to hang out on the beach and in the water without having to adhere to a strict schedule (other than getting on the boat!)
