Great day out lovely island and so many beaches to see . The island does have shops and food places to eat however i would advise people you take your own items as it is expensive. I did the bike hire on a really hot day and it was very tough with the heat the island does have alot of hills so if you are not very fit i would recommend you take the bus tour .

I am a cyclist and was a little weary about what type of bike I would be riding as I am used to riding carbon road bikes. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the bikes were to ride. I had heaps of fun. the whole trip was money well spent and worth every penny. i will be back

My sister, visiting from the UK, loved the unspoiled beauty of the island and the respect ofr it's flora and fauna. She recognised the good management of the island's transport and also its waste management processes. We were very limited with time so only skimmed the surface, however the whole day, including lunch, was excellent. Just sorry we missed the museum as we got back from our bike ride after it had closed - I'm sure it would have been exceptional to experience more of the island's history.
