Over seven hours, you'll navigate turquoise waters between granite islands, stopping to snorkel in crystalline bays and swim at secluded spots chosen on the day.

What to expect
You'll board an inflatable speedboat designed for small groups or solo travellers seeking solitude. The skipper, born locally, reads conditions and your interests to plot the day's route among the archipelago's 62 islands. Expect frequent stops for swimming and snorkelling in shallow, sheltered waters where visibility runs deep. You'll anchor off rocky outcrops and white-sand beaches, with time to float, explore underwater, or simply sit on deck. Bring a book or your own music if you like; the pace is entirely yours. The sun exposure is intense, so pace your time in and out of water.
