Good day and people running the tour were really nice and helpful. Only bad thing was the weather as it made it difficult to see through the water and also boat was very rocky but that’s not the fault of the company :) green island was pretty and had enough time to explore and was facilities like toilet, drinking water and places to get food and drinks. Would say the semi sun experience was quite claustrophobic so don’t do that if you are claustrophobic but was really cool. Also was easy to find the boat at start of day. Would recommend

The ferry ride was good, if you stay on the bottom deck you don’t feel the ship is rocking much. But if you’re ok with motion, go up and enjoy the view and fresh air!! I did snorkeling in green island in the morning and afternoon, and I saw a looot of fish and sea turtle as well!!! Overall, my experience was awesome!

Despite a rainy start and poor visibility in the water at the start- the skies cleared and we saw loads of colourful fish 🐠 we wandered around the other side of the island and explored the reef flat finding some amazing alien looking marine life !!! We had a fabulous day !!!!
