Bring your passport, cash, sturdy shoes, and a towel if you plan to swim.

They lend out a Go pro and will email pictures and videos after excursion. Guide could have done a better job explaining what islands we were visiting and what to do. This day was one of my college girls favorite day. BOWA restaurant was very nice for lunch. Be prepared for a 3-4 course meal and paying a bit more, but it’s nice and i would recommend it. We did have to…”
