We were picked up from our hotel (5 mins away from port) at 7.15, only to depart at 8.30am.
We specifically booked the tour with 5 cocktails included, however, when we came aboard we were told we could get any 5 alcoholic drinks but not cocktails.
The boat ride is extremeeeely slow! Driving at around 10km/hr, so the ride takes over 2 hrs each way. There is no breeze because of the ridiculously slow speed, and indoor space is limited, so most of us were left to roast in the sun for a total of almost 5 hrs.
We were unfortunate enough to have a group of people who decided to turn the boat into their own party, with a massive speaker screaming all the way, both ways (seperate to the DJ upstairs)
Time at the island is limited, we arrived just before 10.30 am and were queuing up to leave by 2:50.
No activities are included in the price. If you want to go snorkelling you need to pay an extra $20.
Sunbeds are packed near eachother with zero personal space. The beds themselves are old and worn out. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a space under a tree for some shade, otherwise you need to add an extra $5 for an umbrella.
We asked what time we will be back as we had private transport booked for 6pm. We were informed we’d be back by 5 (which you’d think is pretty reasonable for a 23 km journey which leaves at 3 pm), however we docked at 6pm, making us late for our transport
Lunch was ok and staff were very helpful.
Island is lovely but not worth the experience.
