The north is where a group trip belongs, and the two things that go wrong are transport and water-sports operators. We fix both: a driver on call for the whole stay, and activities booked with people whose equipment is maintained.
The rest is deliberately loose. Two arranged days out of four, and a driver who will take you wherever you end up wanting to go.
Highlights
- A driver on call for the whole stay
- Water sports with a licensed operator
- A diving day at Grande Island
- Two arranged days out of four, no more
