My family and I all agreed that this was our best holiday - beating safari, the Amazon, Barrier reef.. - and all experienced post-holiday blues when we got home. I must admit I was a bit concerned about being stuck on a boat for a week with not a great deal to do - I was completely wrong. Being immersed in the simplicity of the islands for a week was magical, with a good balance of walks, snorkelling, kayaking. The lack of fear of the animals was really quite profound. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, whilst remaining unassuming, and all the boat staff polite and helpful. Being on a smaller boat with only 18 guests was a definite plus, and we were very fortunate in that all the guests were of similar mindset, and got on well with each other.
