Our guide planned our route so we arrived at the islands before most other people and as we were leaving everyone else was arriving, was nice to avoid the overcrowding. Boat was a long tail - out tour was booked up and there wasn’t very much room on the boat. However, didn’t feel overly cramped. When on a budget this is no less cramped than we expected.
