- The pickup list includes the island ferry terminal in town, which some cruise lines reach by free shuttle from the quay.
- It joins the operator's mangrove paddle and Blue Cave snorkel in one booking, with equipment, a winter wetsuit, a hot shower and photo data included.
- 115 reviews average 4.9, and it was open on all 43 ship days we checked.
Fit, confident swimmers on a call of 6 hours or more who want a full morning on the water.
Four hours of paddling and swimming is a real workout, and the listing warns off travellers with heart problems or after drinking. If your line runs no shuttle, budget a taxi to the ferry terminal.
