Summary: My guide, Desmond, was a mine of information about every aspect of Anse Major. Patient but always totally engaged with the client experience. Easily worth the small extra for such a guide, otherwise you’ll be aware of 10% of what there is to see and its relevance and importance to the ecosystem.

Summary: The weather and the sea are not favorable in this period, we were ill-advised at the start, so I would recommend to inquire at this local agency, to get all the useful and necessary advice. The agency assisted us in every step, with precision, punctuality, professionalism and timeliness, they were very fast in responding to every need. Each island has its own dedicated team, they were all very good, but a particular praise goes to Robert, who adds to the qualities already mentioned, sympathy.
