“Great day, great experience! Two islands and snorkeling in-between! Everything ran very smoothly and neither island were overly busy which was an added bonus! What we didn't like was the snorkeling side, the guides didn't tell people to not touch/ stand on the coral reef so some people were stood on it!”
