Our family of 4 is is good shape so we made good time to the island. He gave us a tour and lots of information. We spent time snorkeling with turtles and an octopus. Then, spent a little time on another beach before heading back. Maddie, who is training, accompanied us on the trip and she was very sweet and helpful. It was one of our favorite day trips! Definitely try the Island Snow afterwards. I had the vanilla and kona coffee…”
