If snorkelling if important to you, I’ve been told that the waters at Mantanani Island is a little further away (around 45 minutes by boat) but offers much better diving opportunities with visibility of around 30 – 40 metres!
As I sat on the deck to dry myself off before lunch, I couldn’t help myself and patiently waited for the cats to approach.
This is a general rule for monkeys everywhere but showing your teeth is considered a sign of aggression in their world and when I smiled, just once, instead of running away from me when I got closer the monkeys attitudes changed completely and they began to get aggressive and baring their teeth.
I’m a bit more of an action girl so would have liked to see a few more activities or even better snorkelling conditions, but as a half-day trip, it was just right amount of time in the water, eating and relaxing.
