Delicious food at the local restaurant, great atmosphere. The reef near is great for snorkeling. And you can walk on the island with the turtles.

Visited this island from a cruise in 2018. A beautiful place with stunning scenery. Enjoyed the walk around the island though it is quite up and down. Enjoyed seeing the giant turtles living there and also the birdlife.
