“Absolutely amazing day! We knew it would be good but what a gorgeous island to spend a day at, with helpful staff and all you could need available. My only disappointment is we weren’t there for longer! Highly recommend this. We booked the ferry to the island and the glass bottom boat which was really interesting. We also hired snorkelling kit once we got there and had a really nice meal at the bar on the island.” Brad, Nov. 2025 >> See More Reviews
