Brilliant way to spend 4 hours! Fast boat trip out to the island (about 20-25 minutes) and then 3 hours on the island which we had almost to ourselves. Saw loads of turtles and stingrays. Guide & boat captain friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Well worth the money paid

Amazing service from the start. They are set up right outside the cruise ship terminal and speak very good English. Snorkel gear is provided which saves the hassle of having to rent/buy gear. Also a supermarket is right across the road from the tent where they are set up, to grab some food and water to take over to the island. You are guaranteed to have the most amazing time seeing the turtles and tropical fish.
