45 min trip across leaving plenty of time to walk around the island, go for a swim, and go on the glass bottom boat.

The trip was a bit rough across and the staff were excellent in taking care of a number of sick passengers. The hosts were very friendly and spent time with the passengers. The half-day trip was enough to walk around the island, go for a swim and go on the glass bottom boat. Overall a good trip and recommend it to anyone contemplating going over.
