After lunch and a short cruise to our destination, we were shuttled from the boat to a floating kayak stand where we donned our personal floatation devices and took to the water.

Trying to look tough in our bright orange personal flotation devices and floppy hats.

After kayaking we were taking to this secluded swimming beach. We had to walk through a cave to reach the beach. So beautiful!

Giving squid fishing a try. We didn’t have any luck. Still super fun to hang out at the back of the boat and see the fish in the light.

Whew! We were exhausted by the end of the day. Big day! Off to the comfort of our cabins with the A/C blasting cold air at maximum force. It’s so hot and humid here!
