Amazing day! Even though the water was a little choppy, the crew knew exactly where to take us for the best experience. Crystal clear water and they showed us where the caves were. Fantastic crew, amazing vibes, and one of the best experiences. Thank you guys!
Bellissima gita in barca e bellissimo giro in snorkeling !
Il personale e anche molto simpatico !
Veramente una bella gita,
Simpatici, allegri, un po’ di storia durante la navigazione e una nuotata guidata senza pericoli durata almeno un ora, senza fretta.
Ci hanno fornito anche maschere e mute su richiesta tutto nel prezzo.
E al nostro ritorno in barca una gradita bevanda e dolcetti alle mandorle.
Ottimo
The guides were super kind, welcoming and they lend us a suit to protect us from sunburn which I really appreciated! Lot of nice fishes to spot.
Una bella esperienza, ben organizzata.
