Ha estado genial, paseo hasta la isla viendo todo el fondo marino, tiempo para hacer snorkel con los neoprenos por lo que no se pasaba nada de frío, y el personal maravilloso, estuvimos después un buen rato hablando sobre sitios interesantes y de la historia del lugar. Repetiremos con otras actividades que realizan.
