Nice day out. - We enjoyed the glass bottom boat tour, it was a half hour long. We lucked out and the weather was nice. They have lots of options to keep one busy. We walked the trail and rested on the beach. It is what one should do on a vacation.

Good but could be improved - Snorkeling on shore was not interesting. Not much coral and only 1 (though beautiful) school of fish sighted. Glass bottom boat ride fun but disappointed it was only 30 minutes. Would have been great to be able to snorkel as part of our glass bottom boat excursion. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. All boat rides were smooth despite rain and waves. Should have WiFi access on island and boat.

dirty glass - Glass bottom boat trip was very disappointing. It was a very short time actually on the water. The glass was dirty and shimmy making it difficult to see colours ...
