Chaos, Smog, benzina, urla, … 100 persone su una striscia di sabbia. É stata una pessima esperienza e dovrebbero far pagarevdi più e limitare i turisti della peggior specie. Grassoni unti di creme solare che camminina sopra i coralli ormai morti proprio per questo tipo di turismo massificato. Lo Staff della barca bravi e gentili ma la tipologia di tour é ridicola. Non la consiglio a nessuno. Se mi fossi documentato meglio non sarei mai andato in un casino del genere. Non si può mandare 30…”
