Nice trip on the water - Great little day trip. One of the islands is closed on Sundays, so we missed it. We only had energy for one island. There is a market place by the departure point for the water taxi. Great activity during nice weather. Not sure how I would feel if it were raining.

A must do trip - Loved this Island you could spend hours here. The museum entry was just 8 euros and that covered 3 museums including the submarine. The boat trip out and back is lovely great views and relaxing after lots of walking. The boats are big so normally have room and run every 30 minutes

Beautiful - We actually only got to explore one of the 3 islands, however, it was a beautiful nature walk and that one island was worth the $.
