Excellent. Le 1er guide nous a accompagné à l’île Prison et nous a bien expliqué l’origine du nom et des tortues 🐢. Ensuite, un autre guide cette fois-ci francophone nous a accueilli à la ferme aux épices. Nous avons mangé un excellent repas 🥘 typique puis avons pu découvrir les épices et arbres fruitiers c’était fascinant et très bien expliqué. Je recommande cette expédition.
