Robinson Sand Island Trip

Just a few hundred meters offshore lies a pristine sand island that emerges at low tide. Choose between a glass-bottom boat, a traditional Ngalawa dhow or our very own Princess Layla to reach this serene spot. We’ll provide snorkelling gear and chilled refreshments so you can lounge, swim, and soak in the reef views before returning to shore.
