“Guide Zizou was incredible, very patient and aware. Friendly and enthusiastic. The beach is fantastic, but you are limited to just Hula Hula so you can’t walk around to Paradise or Eden or other bays. Well worth the money we paid and would go back and do it all again. Food and drinks are provided, you’re well looked after. There are beach sellers but they aren’t pushy and all very welcoming and kind. 10/10 day. Speedboat was very fun.”
