Once we arrive at the island we will see the clean water and sand that we can make to lie on the beach. We can swim too, but it's best to wear a cover to be safe. Another interesting activity is fishing to burn the fish. It would be better if we have prepared the rice from home so that the tour feels complete with eating by the sea on a beautiful island.
Cinta Island
