“The appeal here rests on the promise of Whale Island itself: a secluded escape far removed from typical tourist trails. Its eco-focus aligns with a desire for sustainable travel, and the diving center adds genuine appeal for underwater enthusiasts. While some may find the simplicity charming, others might seek a bit more polish.”
