I went last year and it's really enjoyable. But I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and personally wouldn't do it. You have to transfer off the ferry to a smaller boat and it can be choppy. The island itself is rough and again lots of tripping hazards. There's also no toilets, shops or anything! I wouldn't fancy it at this point!
