Our annual whale shark migration (Nov - April) is the area's biggest draw because of the "undisturbed" laws in effect. Dolphin and turtle migrations occur during this time as well. There are snorkeling and dive tours available which can be arranged by the Hostess.
A word about travel. Over the years we have had many visitors. The biggest mistakes made sometimes result from improper transportation. Examples: 2-hour trip turns into 10 hours. Please be aware this is a provincial site, transportation after 5pm can be very challenging and get expensive. We will be glad to help in anyway, please contact Hostess to pre-arrange.
Internet is fiber optic and can be very fast most of the time, however times between 4 and 10 pm can be trying. Storms and rain can have negative effects as well.
Please be aware that this is our personal residence and will be treated as such. We reserve the right to terminate any contract because of property damage at any moment and will retain the damage deposit. We give respect, we expect the same.
