“the boat ride was a lot of fun and the crew were friendly and helpful. Check in was very well organised and i received a whatsapp with all the information the day before. id recommend doing the easy hour long hike (30 reais) to see the other side of the island as its very beautiful and you learn about ancient hieroglyphs. Just a word of caution..be careful parking at the marina boatyard. The man is greedy/dishonest and tried to charge me more than 50 reais as I was a foreigner but backed down when i challenged him. Then when i returned and said Ill be back in a few hours…”
