Julia made some simple vegetarian meal but it was absolutely fabulous. Overall it was a great experience. Would do it again. Only suggestion is if they put in a few fishing rods as well cause if somebody doesnt want to get into the water for snorkeling or swimming they could just sit and relax holding a fishing rod. Anyway had loads of fun. Great day.”
