Les plages sont jolies, mais ne correspondent pas forcément aux images de plages paradisiaques qu’on voit souvent sur les photos promotionnelles. La sortie jusqu’à la cascade est vraiment sympa, avec la présence de quelques singes qui ajoutent un petit côté sauvage à la visite. Le repas proposé était très bon, un vrai point positif de la journée. En revanche, l’organisation pour quitter l’île est un peu compliquée : il y a énormément de bateaux et de prestataires différents, ce qui rend parfois difficile de savoir exactement quelle…”

“The food on the island was good but thats about it. The all inclusive/ unlimited drinks and snacks fitted in a little cooler. They feed the monkeys with chips 👎We thought the guide/ driver would explain something along the tour or give us informations what's next but unfortunately he didn't speak much english. So most of our questions remained unanswered. We were very disappointed when the tour ended after only 5 hours at 2 p.m. We felt betrayed. It is not worth the money. We can't recommend this tour at all.”
