The trip over can be wild, you can go to the lookout then walk onto the beach. Snorkeling with fish at Hook Island and then again at Black Island. Very nice lunch highly recommend adding this to the trip

We had an absolute incredible time on board Thunderstruck with Oak and Daisy on the Southern Exposure. It was one best excursions we have ever done - from the lookout to the snorkelling to the beach itself we really got to see it all. The boat ride home was particularly fun; Oak keep killing it as DJ and Daisy as hype woman!!
