Thank you so much for your cheerful disposition and detailed tour of this island! My son is on his way right now to camp at this location with a small group and your video comforted me with great insight into what he will be experiencing on this adventure! Thank you again and it’s so cool that you and your Dad explore together!

You forgot to mention that there are no trash containers, so you have to take your trash back with you to dispose of it back on the main land. Very enjoyable and informative video. I would have liked to have seen a little more on the night time experience camping. Beautiful video though.

That is a great video. I would've liked to know what islands were in the background. Also, I would've like to know if some of those coastal overlooks had trails to the beach for snorkeling. Great video. I'd like to see more islands

Because of this great video, last year, my oldest daughter and I camped for 4 days, snorkeled, hiked and kayaked. We had so much fun. Thanks Josh
