About this trip

Five nights that move from the cultural heart of the island down to the south coast, with the driving broken into short legs. The child shares with you and their meals are included.

Most of the sights are optional rather than compulsory, so a morning can become a swim if that is what the day needs.

Cancellation: no charge more than 30 days before arrival; 50 per cent from 30 to 21 days; 100 per cent inside 21 days.
