This is organized by our local fishermen who are able to bring you out from our beach with their wooden dug out canoes. The reef is only a couple of hundred meters away and the snorkeling is just a couple of meters deep.

This historical Island was formerly owned by an Arab and used for the confinement of refractory slaves.
