I would suggest Island Hopping because the activities are interesting. I can see beautiful corals and marine life. I love to see how eagles are fed and will be able to feed the eagles myself. As this trip starts at 9.00 a.m., it would be not too hot. I love to feel the sea breeze on my face. The four hours time given for this tour is sufficient. I will grab the opportunity to take as much photographs as I can and show them to my friends. Besides, snorkeling would be a new experience for me. All my family members are good in swimming except me. So, this would be a good opportunity for me to learn swimming as well as snorkelling since the snorkeling equipment will be provided without extra cost.
