We also have an outdoor cat named Wessie that may come and say hello.

This secluded nature reserve, accessible only by boat, offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts. With no campgrounds on the island, visitors can immerse themselves in bird watching and exploring rare plant species amid the island's unique limestone landscape.

Summer offers lush greenery and full blooms, but be mindful of the weather as the park is only accessible by boat. Winter visits are not recommended due to harsh conditions and limited access.
