We will reach this body of water at the end of the slow navigation on the coast. The wiew of this bay will leave you speechless .. It will be time to wear masks and fins and dive for a half hour swim break. For the more daring it will be possible to swim to the cave which has stalagmites and an exceptional cliff to see. The swim break will be very refreshing and regenerating because cold water flows directly from the cliff. You are not obliged to go into the water and you can also remain on board, however we do not recommend it;)
