A must-do awesome experience

We had an amazing sailing trip! It’s about 5 and a half hours total. We got to snorkel for ~2 hours on one of the islands! It was beautiful and the crew were super lovely! Some dolphins came up to the boat and stayed with us for about 20mins. We saw heaps of fish and a couple of eagle rays too which was awesome! Highly recommend!
