“Overall great day with just enough time to spend on the all 3 spots. Muhammed was really friendly and gave us interesting information of history. The only thing for me was the snorkelling,I was imagine to be at the boat before we hit the sandbank with all other people. They only provide the gear and you have to swim further which didn't happened as the sea was choppy at the spot for snorkeling. Day well spend and the transport was really good and on time. Would recommend.”

“The activity was just a visit to the prison island, and the 'lunch' on the sandbank while it disappeared was the best part. We were the last to arrive on the island, and the little island vanished into the sea while we were eating. The food was really disappointing, I think we would have eaten better in prison back in the day.”
