“A truly enjoyable day out, motorsailing to the small island turtle sanctuary. Great team looking after the turtles to grow the population. Then on to the snorkling at the 1st spot which was quite good. We had a reasonable lunch and then went to a nearby reef location for some more snorkling. The reef spot was much better than the first spot and well worth the visit.”
