Nice walk
We have visited island during rainy season and the day of our visit was really rainy. But anyway it was nice way to spend day. We have walked from town to entrance, payed tickets and in company of guide have visited cemetery. It was interesting and without guide it would be not so good. He know all the small details and he have earned every bit of his payment and tip.

An unusual experience but worth it.
Not every country has a pirate cemetery. Although it's weathered and been robbed of treasures, pun intended, it's still worth the visit. The ticket includes the guide, who will explain the history of the area and various pirates buried at the cemetery. Not all died a gruesome death. Nice vantage point to the town and other islands. The walk to the ticket box and then to the cemetery was also interesting. Our guide was keen to please and pointed out various plants and objects along the way including vanilla, cinnamon and eucalyptus. Support the locals and check it out!
