Really fun day. The snorkelling stop depends on tides so bring your own mask to be safe. The lunch was generous and the island is stunning. Would recommend to anyone wanting action.

Great value and a thrilling ride. The only downside was the snorkelling stop being cut short due to the tide, but that is nature. Ile aux Cerfs beach time was the highlight — absolutely stunning.
