What a beautiful island paradise. We did a daytrip but wish we stayed the night, the people were very kind and there was a big focus on conserving the nature (both marine and forest). I cannot wait to be back, next time we will be staying a couple of nights!

While walking through the forest of this beautiful island, I lightly touched a plant that caused a burn. The reaction with UV light caused redness and left a scar. Be careful not to touch plants you're not familiar with.
