Had a great trip seeing the fish, chose not to see the dolphins as the ocean was so choppy due to the high winds. Fruit on the boat was lovely and had a great dinner on the beach. Great experience 5*”

Per lo snorkeling abbiamo avuto paura di tuffarci causa avvistamento di un banco di meduse. Mi dispiace, ma sicuramente è un escursione che vale la pena fare e soprattutto la guida è stata gentile e ha capito la situazione.”

Aufenthalt auf der Sandbank, unspektakulär. Weiterfahrt zur Verkaufsinsel mit Mittagessen, welches soweit okay war. Im Vorfeld des Essen, Getränkeabfrage, Bier ja, welches sich nach dem ersten Schluck als kostenpflichtig darstellte, 4$. 5$ gegeben und kein Wechselgeld erhalten. Achtung Abzocke. Kann man machen, muss man aber nicht.”
