WHY GO
The lack of tourist presence in the relatively undiscovered region has allowed nature to flourish. Bulky yellow and orange starfish dominate the shores of Isla Estrella, Isla Perro Chico’s sunken gunboat offers a spectacular yet eerie snorkelling experience and, come nighttime, the billowing underwater clouds of bioluminescent plankton create a mesmerizing natural light show along the beaches north of Isla Banedup. As the locals say, each island has a story to tell.
WHEN TO GO
