Paddling through the mangroves first thing in the morning was quiet and a great start to the day, but when we explored the Blue Cave in the afternoon, the adrenaline filled me. Snorkeling there was like being in a giant natural aquarium. Swimming with the wide variety of marine life is an unforgettable experience.
