“Bonue pick up from the Vaitpe jetty where the cruise boat cam in. Brilliant for the variety of places to snorkel. Lovely coloured clams and fish. Added value was that he motored around the whole island before returning back; perhaps we were all earlier than usual as all of us coulds wim etc. Only thing i'd ask the tour provideer, prior to your arrival; is check he will have enough equipent for everyone on board and provide shoe size.”

Those two were not real comfortable and wanted to tell the vendor to “Require” water shoes. Not the vendor’s problem! Water shoes are strongly recommended! Considering them required.

Zwischendurch hat Jan uns sehr viel über das Ökosystem erzählt und einen netten Obstteller hergerichtet. Jan hat mit uns geschnorchelt und uns dabei immer wieder interessante Erklärungen zur Unterwasserwelt gegeben. Diese Exkursion ist nur zu empfehlen!!! Roswitha und Jens”
