$2300 for 4 days 6 person boat rental including fuel. (Island Exclusive Boat tours and rentals)

That is about $1,672.75 per person. There were cheaper houses and there are cheaper flights. Google flights has the prices marked as average.

We go as much as we can. The trick for us is watching flights and also bringing some of our own food for most dinners. We like to eat out for lunches and then eat at home for dinners (BBQ, taco meat, bagles, cream cheese, other breakfast items and snacks.) When you have the ability to check a bag for free, it makes sense to do that and fill it with food.
Went 5 years ago and had an absolute blast. My buddy had a run in with a 10-12’ tiger shark right after he fell out of his kayak… If you’ve not eaten at the tiny ice cream shop, make sure you do. One of the best meals I’ve ever had.
