Desiree_E, October 2026
What a great time! If you’re up for getting to know fellow travelers, drinking and playing games then this experience is for you! Our guide Desiree was so friendly amd made the experience even more fun. Be prepared for less than ideal bathroom situations (and I mean it). The food on “the island” was decent.
