We were picked up from near Fisherman's village and were the first of 4 pick ups so quite a long journey of 75 to 80 mins each way but a comfortable, air-conditioned van.”

Be prepared to spend some time on the boat, but the islands are pretty far so that’s reasonable. The trip is well organised, very worth it to see beautiful places! Highly recommended!”
