Snorkeling activities worth participating in, the speedboat runs very steadily already worthy of praise, the instructor will teach once before going into the water to use the equipment, during the snorkeling there are special creatures will try to ask us to see, the lunch environment is acceptable, but a little greasy. The third snorkeling was approaching an early end due to rain, but it would also start early because of this, which is commendable

This was a day that dreams were made of. Ah Vui and the team ensured that every aspect of our day was just perfect. Hotel pick up was prompt and the transfer to the island was seamless. our group of three were the only visitors on the island. the seafood lunch was devine. Snorkelling was out of this world and we felt like we had the sea to ourselves. If you want to have the most perfect day in paradise then book this trip. Away from the mass of tourists at the Jetty and feeling like you are the most special people in the world. kayaking was a wonderful bonus. 10/10. wouldn’t want to do any other island tour. Worth every penny. memories for life and a very full heart. ❤️
