One traveller says they stayed only an hour on the island: check the beach time announced.
Eden Island, Giftun or Paradise Island?
All three are reached by boat from the same area. Giftun and Paradise Island trips are often snorkelling-focused and cheaper; Eden Island is the developed beach, with lunch on site. If you mainly want reefs, choose Giftun or Orange Bay; if you want an organised beach day, Eden Island fits. Our comparison of Giftun Islands and Orange Bay details the offers.
Tips
