Desert Island Escape
An island with nobody living on it, a lagoon to swim in and trees to sit under, 15 to 20 minutes out by speedboat. Take the morning, or take the whole day and have lunch there.
Half a day, or all of it
Half Day Desert Island, 09:30 to 12:00, USD 65. Enough for the beach, a swim and a walk, with your afternoon back on Ukulhas.
Desert Island Escape (Full Day), 09:30 to 15:00, USD 89, lunch included. Spend longer swimming in the lagoon, walking the beach and resting in the shade before returning to Ukulhas.
The island is uninhabited and may be shared with other visitors.
You swim from the beach into the lagoon on either trip. Tell us how confident each of you is in the water and we will help you pick the length.

| Notice | About a day |
| Weather | The captain confirms the trip on the day. If it cannot run, we first look for another day during your stay, and we explain the postponement terms before you book |
| Payment | Nothing in advance. The trip is added to your bill after it runs and settled at check-out; a trip that does not run is not charged |
We suggest the half day to families. Send us each child's age and how well they swim so we can check that the outing suits them. Lunch is on the full day only, so raise allergies and diets as you arrange that one.
Other days by the water
The Sand Bank Escape is shorter and lands you on sand rather than an island. The Snorkelling Safari spends the same hours on two reefs. Island Immersion is a full day that calls at two inhabited islands instead.
