Sailing, snorkelling & swimming and a delicious lunch.
Awesome experience with well informed and friendly staff. Location was picturesque, plenty of time for snorkelling and swimming and walking around part of the island. Very delicious morning tea and lunch. and a very relaxing and enjoyable sail back to the mainland.

Great full day trip. Would recommend to anyone.
Well trained staff and most helpful for poorer swimmers to make sure they were OK and felt comfortable snorkelling given it’s not something we do every day! Stopping at the island was good as this gave a break from swimming and the tour guide was very informative and she answered all our questions. The buffet lunch was excellent and there was plenty to eat as there was also at the breakfast. It was great to actual sail back to port and the bit of wind that blew up provided a lot of entertainment for the kids with the water splashing over the front deck. Felt totally safe throughout with the crew.
