We were picked up from our hotel and taken to a meeting point with people who were also on other trips, where we were divided on the boats and while waiting to leave we had a buffet breakfast. The boat trip lasted about 1h then we did a bit of walking up to the viewpoint (tiring but worth it). Those who didn't want to come could stop at the beach. After that we did kayaking and buffet lunch on another Island then some beach relaxation. Finally we went to emerald lake and then to snorkel. A special mention to our guide, Ken, who was wonderful - he explained the tour itinerary in great detail and also how to kayak or use the snorkel mask. He was available to take pictures of everyone and above all he proved enthusiastic throughout the excursion and was able to convey his enthusiasm to us participants as well. Super!
