Hi Romy thanks for you honest review , you are right the coral can be damaged by people standing on it this is why we and most other boats do not use fins as people seem to stand on the coral when they wear them . We would love to have you back one day . take care out there!
Thanks Camille , landscape of dreams is so correct! happy travelling out there
Oui je recommande cette expérience et je recommencerai les yeux fermés ! Au programme (en partie) : snorkeling, lever et coucher de soleil, Whiteheaven Beach, repas, anecdotes, rencontres avec des raies et des requins, ..... (et j’en passe!!!) Un équipage composé de 3 personnes : le capitaine (d’une sympathie et d’un humour bien présent), la cuisinière, Poppy, (qui nous a régalé tout le long du séjour) et un sympathique jeune homme qui nous a accompagné dans chaque sorties en snorkeling. C’etait vraiment une chouette aventure, remplie de rencontres, de partage et de bonne humeur ! (A savoir : 4 couchettes doubles prevues pour les couples, attention pas de douches prévues sur le bateau, pensez à vous amener 4 bières pour soir)

Share LinkSuper expérience
Superbe excursion qui nous a laissé de très bons souvenirs en tête, surtout avec le retour à la voile digne d'une régate transocéanique. Les balades en bateau et les stops à pied sont vraiment sympas, le premier spot de snorkeling était trop profond nous n'avions donc pas de visibilité mais les 2 suivants n'étaient pas mal. L'équipage étaient sympathique et la nourriture assez bonne. Petit conseil pas besoin de réserver les lits "more space" de l'avant du bateau, les couchettes individuelles sont bien mieux et ça remue moins.
