First of all, the full day trip as such was great and islands beautiful. Despite confirmation, we did not have an English speaking tour guide (except on the last short island tour). Not a huge problem, but it gave some unclarity on time schedules each time and we missed some extra’s like fruit and drinks that were supposed to be included. As a tip for others; bring your own snorkeling gear as the set provided (on one island only) is really children’s size.

The islands are beautiful and if you snorkel there are rewards under the sea. The boat to get there, however, is a challenge--a skiff with two motors jumping the waves--a bit hard on an older body, although young people seemed unhappy about it, too.
