Madsum Island (pig island) was fun but essentially just pigs on an island! The snorkelling was disappointing. I was not aware that water levels are about 1 -2 metres lower at this time of year (August) and so swimming over the coral was not really possible. It is also getting bleached by warming waters and some people were damaging it by kicking and standing on it - I do not think this is a responsible way to run a tour and all visitors should be told not to touch the coral.
Lunch was great but again the kayaking was not possible due to the really low water level.
Maybe the trip would be better during high tide. Our guide was very enthusiastic however and took lots of photos which he sent on to us which was great.
