최고!!

케언즈에 아침 8시 반 경에 도착하는 일정이었는데 그날 하루를 날리고싶지 않았어요. 그래서 찾아봤는데 다 7시, 9시 이렇게 이른 시간에 시작하는거밖에 없어서 혹시 비행기 지연이라도 되면 돈 날릴까봐 걱정도 들었습니다. 그런데 좋은 기회로 북미에서 왕복 티켓을 저렴하게 겟 했어요. 11시에 출발해서 가장 늦게 오후 5시경에 돌아오는 일정이었어요. 물론 오후 늦게 되어가니 바람도 많이 불고 파도도 거세져서 더이상 물놀이를 하진 못했지만, 해가 져가며 바다 위에 비치는 윤슬도 감상하고 다른 투어사 일정보다 여유로운 느낌이었어요.

혼자 갔다오기 딱 좋아요

왕복 표가 그리 비싸지도 않고 저처럼 스노쿨 장비를 빌리지 않으시면 예쁜 섬을 저렴하고 간편하게 왔다갔다 하실 수 있을 거예요!! 섬 볼 건 없지만 깔끔해서 바다랑 트래킹이 정말 만족스러웟어요 그대신 도시락정도 챙겨오시면 더 만족스럽게 보내실 수 있을 것 같아요 완전 추천해요! 혼자 다녀왔는데도 하나도 안 심심하고 너무 즐거웟습니당

Really good regardless of the weather

The weather wasn't great when we planned our trip - rainy and windy with some sunshine in between. However we got an excellent deal through BookMe, email confirmation straight away. We actually booked several more excursions through BookMe as the process was so smooth and the best deals we could find!
