Our captain and guide were hilarious and told us many facts about the island as we sailed, while also pointing out interesting things for us to see as they came.

Lunch was my top 2 on the island. I’m. Not going to ruin the surprise but the lunch and hike alone are worth the trip. This is an entire day trip BUT well worth it.”
