Things to do
Watching wildlife is why you came. And you won't have time for much else, as the ship needs to sail on in a day or two.

Where to eat
Tourists are fed on the ship of arrival, so they should expect the same fare they have consumed since Réunion. Meanwhile les pafiens ashore are eagerly opening the jars of cranberry sauce and other goodies that have just arrived on the ship, to garnish their reindeer steaks.
