Summary:
We actually booked two different excursions with Coral Spirit. The glass boat and the Wasini Island sunset cruise. Both were amazing. The glass boat gave us a chance to do some swimming at the sand bar. The guides were friendly and very informative. The sunset sunset experience was absolutely wonderful! From they had snacks, drinks and some amazing dinner and dancing. The Indian Ocean sunset was definitely one for the books. There were about 25 ladies in the group and they managed us nicely.
