In the afternoon, the taxi boat will take you back to the civilization and the bus will bring you to the north coast and your hotel.

One of the best excursions we have ever booked! The rental company and their team were very efficient and informative. They ask you to download an app to ensure you don't get lost and also aids in confirming your location should anything happen. 10/10 :)

Great and friendly on-site instruction, breathtaking landscape and unforgettable holiday experience in turquoise water - highly recommended :-)
