I'm glad we used this guide to tour this place, The green island as it is popularly known was one of the places that we visited on our trip to the place and it was worth the wait. The place is ideal for hikes and walks and even meditations. We went as a group and even enjoyed team building activities.

The beach was the only place i was eager to go to and it didn't disappoint me at all. The atmosphere at the beach was 'out of this world' and i enjoyed surfing at the sea on the windy days. Could not stop thinking of my time at the beach when we left and would love to return.

The guide features an iconic narration of how this Island represents the remains of a bling brother preserved by God as he punished his deceitful brother. It is a fun and peaceful island that i was thrilled to tour.
