We took the 5 island tour and everything was nice, well organized and without forcing out anything. Saw the monkeys, sea turtles, some interesting fidh during snorkelling and even the humpback whales. The lighthouse island was just perfect and the lunch (especially rum) was very good. Really great value for money, highle recommended tour and agency

The climb was absolutely worth it! We were out for about two hours. I highly recommend starting no later than 6:00 a.m., as it gets too hot and crowded otherwise. The trail becomes increasingly challenging as you ascend, and you'll need to use your hands for some scrambling. You don't need to be a professional athlete, but a certain level of fitness and sure-footedness are necessary; it's not really suitable for children. The view from the top is incredible and makes it all worthwhile. To really get a good look at the famous underwater waterfall, you should invest in a helicopter tour, which is what I would do next time.
