All the staff were friendly and competent. The 4wd bus on the island felt safe but there was adventure driving the sand track. The sand dune surfing was great fun with built in fitness. Whilst snorkeling the wrecks our guides worked hard to keep us safe and ensure that we saw a wide variety of marine life. Lunch was simple but tasty. All in all a great day out.

If you are looking to get the best of all the experienes in one day, this is a must do. Great team and overall execution. For eg. If scuba diving feels overwhelming, then snorkelling is great. Sand boarding was a delight. If you want to extend stay, then you can. Lots of reef to see, safe. Feedback, may be they can upgrade some of their equipments.
