IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In this expedition, we embrace a sense of adventure rather than sticking to a strict itinerary. We have a selection of islands we aim to visit, but the actual route will be shaped by the tides and wave conditions. Our boatman is in charge, and it's essential to trust his expertise. You may encounter a sandbar during high tide, which means you’ll enjoy a lovely shallow pool instead of the sandy base. There may be times when big waves keep you from enjoying the infinity pool, and rain could dampen your chances for sunny pictures. Remember, perfection isn’t the goal here.
Embrace the unpredictability of the journey.
