Who wouldn’t want to snorkel in some of the clearest waters in the world?
To really capture the relaxation and give some love to your social media feed, rent a glass kayak and book a drone photoshoot with a local photographer. Of course, you can also bring your own drone and do this yourself, but you’re here to relax, so take a load off and let someone else manage the photoshoot.
