Loved this trip. Especially the first two Islands...Badija and and the old abandoned fishing village on Island starting with V? I walked the whole way around Badija. Had a lovely lunch here. The Franciscan Monastery is fascinating. Great service to stay as little or as long as you like on each of the Islands getting picked up when it suits you and dropped off at the next Island. I highly recommend this tour.

Very well organized tour. Guide was knowledgeable and provided excellent information and advise. Highly recommend the tour and tour company
