u have to switch the boats when u r abt to reach the island.....dunno why, in the second boat i felt a bit dizzy cos the boat was swaying a lot and diesel smell was also too much.........but thankfully i had to stay thr n the second boat only for 5 mnts.....
the fiz view was juz awesome.......i cant explain it n words,its tht pretty!!!........the water is so green and cool and the island is surrounded by rocks.......i read sumwhere tht the island was formed out of a volcanic erruption........iv tried the bez to capture the scenic beauty with my 2 MP motoming.....check out my orkut for tht!!......
