It was a perfect blend of adventure and education, and we all felt a sense of accomplishment as we reached the summit.

Relaxing by the Beach

After our historical exploration, it was time to unwind at one of the island’s stunning beaches. The kids couldn’t wait to splash in the crystal-clear waters, and my husband and I took the opportunity to relax and soak in the sun. Scheffler even joined in on the fun, showing the kids how to build the perfect sandcastle.

The beach time was a wonderful way to end our tour, providing a chance for the family to bond and create lasting memories.
