Nissan Island Cruiser Highlights
This is a very remote location. The people here live very basic lives in relation to western lifestyles. Their houses are made out of the wood from the rain forest and they don’t have any power or solar panels or any form of technology. However, you will receive an incredibly warm welcome from the villagers who are happy to trade seafood including lobster as well fresh fruits and vegetables.
