The boat trip was very nice and relaxing, the water was clear and perfect for a swim. The only downside was the timing, felt a bit rushed but overall a GREAT day on the water. Would recommend for a calm getaway.

Such a nice day out! The boat was comfortable and the staff friendly. Plenty of time on the island, though I wish there was a bit more variety in food options. Still, a lovely way to spend a day away from busy spots.
