    Can you please clarify which tour operator this is through and the board basis. Thank you.

    If you are looking at AI via Mercury Direct I would say that this is an extremely good price - I wish I could book it myself!

    NB: please be aware that this is monsoon season and as such the beach may be less accessible and the sea very rough ;0)
