Mixed...
Mixed... it's a very long time on a sailboat (when there isn't much wind...), so you swim for less time at the spots... The boat is also not necessarily very comfortable, without a bimini... 2 guides, one of whom speaks French, but in the end, they talk among themselves throughout the whole trip... The lagoon, for its part, is inevitably magnificent...

Great time with Charlie and Annie!
We had a wonderful sailingtrip with Charlie And Annie. They were very kind and we had a great time being in their company. All the time their goal was to please us and to ensure we were happy. The tour on the lagune was beautiful and we did some stops to swim with enough time to enjoy. There was water to drink, beer and fresh fruit to eat. We would really recommend this tour!
