We enjoyed our time to Dia island. The sailing boat takes you to an alcove protected from the wind. Several other boats are anchored and snorkeling at the same time but there was plenty of room for everyone! Bring water shoes if you want to swim over to the small beach and walk up to the church on the top of the hill. Lunch was fabulous and served on trays so you can sit anywhere on the boat and enjoy.

Our guides were Marcos and Marta. They were good sailors and hosts. The boat was comfortable. Unfortunately we had to motor as the wind was too light to sail. After an hour cruise to Dia we had 2 1/2 hours to swim, tan, eat lunch and even hike the island ( we did not). Then an hour sail back. We had a hotel in the Old Port area so we walked to the meeting point. Just a great day!

The trip was amazing! The sea was beautiful, pretty calm, the yacht was wonderful, and the crew was very friendly. The island is pretty, there are a lot of fishes, and it’s very cool to look at them swimming. The food was also very delicious. Truly wonderful! Thank you for such an amazing time.
