So we checked with our booking website, we are so glad that we found the package we wanted too...

Our tour was very well-planned from the beginning only we are very comfortable, our leader was very friendly, very communicative and very knowledgable about the place shared interesting facts, history about each place we visit even helps us taken pictures.

A beautiful piece of island standing Rock solid as if it's the admirer of every one else staring at him. The place is beautiful yet remote and hence it closes by evening and the island becomes completely out of reach.
