Useful Tips

Your trip can be extended to 7-10 days if you want to spend more leisure time on each island. You can visit more places by taking a private yacht or speedboat. Ensure your ferry tickets are booked well in advance as they can sell out quickly. Try to go during the shoulder season (Oct-May) for better weather and fewer crowds. Pack sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the tropical sun.
