This is a wonderful trip! All day on a large sailboat with only 30 people maximum- our trip was fewer than that. We had a perfect day for sailing. The crew is exceptional.
Things to know:
-Bring: hiking clothes, swimwear and another change of clothes, LOTS of sunscreen.
-There are four changing rooms and 4 bathrooms
- The staff is very accommodating in providing shade for everyone who wants it
-The (optional) "hikes" are wonderful, but not really hikes. They involve climbing steep stairs, and the first is uneven stairs made of limestone. The second is almost like climbing huge ladders. They are beautiful views, and we were able to do them, but many people on these tours were not.
(As a guide, we live in the mountains and are used to hiking at altitude, and we still had to take breaks- but we also did it at a much faster pace than most, so you need not be highly fit.) Just be prepared for a vigorous climb and bring lightweight clothes for hiking, and be prepared to sweat! I was happy I'd worn my hiking sandals and quick dry attire, though many made the climb in flip flops and swimsuits
- The transport service was very nice as well
- You will have long stretches of cruising, so you may want to bring a book
- We had perfect weather and calm seas, so sea sickness was not an issue, but the staff did have medication if needed
- I would game chosen this trip hands down compared to any others that we saw. Other trips appeared way over crowded and did not have nearly the amenities we did
