The island is exactly as it is shown and described, but with a little more magic in the details of being so far off the beaten path. It is very remote and an adventure just to get to it but Veren and Stephan are very helpful with transportation planning, just know that the boat is not included in any prices and be ready to have cash to pay for it each way. We stayed 3 days and love it. It is an experience to prepare food by candle light on propane burners, flush the toilet with sea water, and share the island with Piggy (who does not realize how big he is but after about a day is easy to handle and so fun to have as part of the experience). There are so many amazing things about spending time on this island that are well worth it.
One thing we were a little surprised about was the amount of plastic that washes up on the island (which is everywhere in Belize). Veren and Stephan do an amazing job with trying to keep up with it and care a lot for the island... after seeing this we definitely will do our part and all we can to not add to the very real problem of plastics in our oceans!
