Is it for you?
Easy trip to suit anyone. Type of accommodation varies and may appeal to different people.
Best times to go
June to October are the driest months, though the islands are certainly worth visiting at other times too and the snorkelling and diving is best November - February. You may however want to avoid the very rainy months of April and May as lodges close then.
