We were told that the 'boat' would be submerged throughout the trip and because we had bags with phones etc that we couldn't risk getting wet, we ended up not going. We wasted our money unfortunately.
Trip to and from island was amazing - but kept waiting for an hour for outward trip However no problems returning as very accomodating about rescheduling our return journey
