Perfect experience 11/10. We passed 4 beautiful beaches with crystal clear water. The cave was short, but beautiful. I definitely recommend taking a snorkel and diving, you will see a lot of fish, rocks, reefs. In one place, you can even jump off a rock. I'm a 50 kg woman and I managed to paddle (but the guy in the back seat did most of the work). I recommend all eleven.
