Lovely day out for 50 year old couple. Boat and bus tour had a great guide which kept us entertained and informed. Had a delicious pizza for lunch at Frankie's on the island. Beautiful place, we would love to come back when it is warmer.

Good way to explore as much of the Island as possible in a day. Really, you need more time there but for a day, it’s good. Only downside was the boat ride, the 30 minutes open sea journey to the Island is crazy. You might need a sick bag!
