Our Thoughts
One of the most beautiful and scenically interesting islands in the world.
Costs are low and the people are very hospitable. To enhance your enjoyment
of the sights to be seen we recommend reading a good guide before you
travel. Note: Swimming in the sea is not recommended in the monsoon season
(usually May-Sep) when the seas are rough.
