We both enjoyed our cruise. Luke was great! We learned a lot of things and that's always a bonus. We also collected some awesome shells on the island.

45 min ride to the island where you are given a eco tour about local plants. Island is very much a sandy beach. You can walk close to the lighthouse which is fun. Please wear shoes that can get wet.
