We found the definition of paradise

#summerdestinations #paradise We truely found what we believe paradise is. We found this island to add to our Australia trip itinerary from a social group online. We honestly can’t recommend this place enough, I thought the photos looked too good to be true when booking it. But no, this island is exactly how it looks in photos, actually that’s a lie, it’s better! We stayed for 3 days/2 nights and it cost $477 USD total for 2 of us. This included boat transfers from mainland, private lodge, snorkel equipment and breakfasts. This island is screen free, no TVs, no phone signal and it was bliss. It was amazing to detach from the world and your phone to be completely immersed in nature. The island is small, it only took 30 minutes to walk around the beach circumference. The accommodation is a beach style lodge. You get snorkel equipment included which you keep for your stay. This was amazing, we swam with a turtle, sharks, sting rays, colourful fish and coral. The sands are white with crystal clear sea. We saw mother turtles coming onto the beach to lay their eggs. We were then so lucky to see baby turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean. Just going to this island and hoping it was as good as the photos was going to be enough but to add on seeing turtles, sharks and rays in the ocean, the nesting turtles and then on top the baby turtles hatch was completely magical. These memories will stay with us for life. Honestly if you have the chance to go to this island please do not pass it up. You will make memories that will stay with you forever.
