Day 3 Snorkeling around 17 Islands
island-hopping in smallish fishing vessels from one white-sand tropical paradise to another. Pristine beaches, azure waters, & enchanting views welcomed us at every turn. And with the islands in such close proximity of one another, it allowed us to maximize our time enjoying them, rather than spending it on the boat. The area is also perfect for snorkeling, with the waters boasting an abundance of coral & marine life. As it is only a day trip, we won’t have enough time to visit all islands. We only visit 3 most beautiful islands in this national park. (snorkeling gear is provided by customer).
