“We had a fab time. It was really windy so standing on the SUP was limited, but we really enjoyed paddle boarding in the bay. Snorkelling along the rocks was great as well - we saw lots of fish - more than we expected. Our host / instructor was great, and told us what fish to expect - showing us in book, before we went.”
