A special shout-out to Palm our guide, who was incredibly approachable and informative. She not only explained the highlights of each island but also respected our private space, making the experience feel perfectly balanced.

“We chose Option 2 and had a great time. The early start was absolutely worth it, there were fantastic views, and having time on the beaches with few to no other tourists made the experience even better. We especially loved the first two beaches, with the second being our favorite and one we wished we’d spent more time at. However, it started to get busy, so we decided to move on earlier than planned. The third beach was nothing particularly special; we only stayed there to make the most of what we’d paid for.”
