There wasn’t any transport but only a short walk. We had a big storm and the guide tried his best to get us to 4 different destinations, sadly the last stop was cancelled for safety reasons. The rain didn’t detract from the snorkelling but obviously none of this was the fault of the guides and was still a great trip overall.

Pro: The guide on this was amazing. Lovely experience overall. Cons: There is no hotel pick up on this activity. The fume from the boat you inhale during the day is not healthy, recommend to sit in the front of the boat. Still happy overall.🙏 Wet bag recommended.

Very nice tour. However for those who can't swim or have issues walking on rocks, I would suggest to avoid. In some cases we had to leave the boat and swim to shore. Also, some bruises were received on some rocks. Additionally, our tour guide was very nice and attentive. In overall I would recommend this tour.
