A great day out at sea! - So much is packed in a few hours but didn't feel so rushed that I couldn't enjoy a sense of the islands we visited. Our guide (English tour) was super fun and really knew his stuff. Gave us good suggestion for lunch. Loved being out in the water. Squeezed in a great swim. Very affordable. Definitely recommended.
