We had a fantastic half day paddling to the island and snorkelling in the clear water and saw turtles, a small stingray and numerous fish. We decided not to paddle to the main tourist part of Pinel where the bar/ restaurant is but, instead, pulled up on the small areas of sand which where there were only a handful of people in the water snorkelling. It was easy to get a taxi from the port to the bay where you rent the kayaks and we pre-arranged a time for the taxi driver to come back and collect us.
