At the same time, watch out for some beautiful fish swimming, green sea turtles gasping for air, or whales’ head breaching. A lot of guests have had the luck to spot these sea creatures up close. So hopefully, luck stays on your side this time, too. After a few hours of enjoying the shore, finish off your trip with a satisfied heart and stomach, with the sunset as your witness.
