    We had an incredible experience with Tours de Sandy Island! Captain Rommy Pyatt is an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the island and his community. Being from Sandy Island himself, he is deeply connected to the people and the history. He shared stories and local insights that made the tour authentic and meaningful. The scenery was stunning, the vibe was relaxed, and we left with a real appreciation for the history and beauty of the island and the strong, resilient people who have called it home for generations. I’m so grateful for the chance to see this special place, and to learn about it from someone who truly embodies the spirit of this island and its people.
