The skipper arrived 30 minutes late. There were 13 people on site and only 12 people are allowed on board. Therefore, a family with a child could not come along. There were 3 stops with 30 to 40 minutes of time for snorkeling each. The best part of the trip was the dolphins we saw when leaving the harbor.
The tour was great, exactly as described. The boat was new and in great condition, and offered all the comfort you could need. Our guide, Jaime was absolutely brilliant, he shared bits about the city and its history, from a local’s perspective, and he also gave us lots of recommendations for the rest of our stay in the island. We got plenty of time to swim and enjoy the crystal clear sea, and it made for a perfect start to the evening, would 100% recommend!
Top Service and super host. Peter was especially nice and took care of our stay. The food and rooms were also great. Can only recommend!
Competent guide, marvellous experience. Unclear information about meeting time. You were supposed to be there 25 min before the tour which we were not.
Manuel was a great captain and host. It was a fantastic experience and well worth the price. We highly recommend.
Our boat trip with Captain Manuel was an incredible experience. We felt completely safe under his guidance and his fun personality made the day even better. We made several stops to swim and he gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location. He let us set the pace and decide we are ready to move on. Manuel is outgoing and friendly. Nature made the trip so enjoyable. The highlight of the day was when we took extra time in the bay so we could watch a part of dolphins. It was truly an unforgettable site. This is one of the best boat excursions we’ve been on, and we wouldn’t hesitate to take it again.

This trip would have been a lot more fun if the sun stayed out. The water was warm when the sun came out, but as soon as it was gone it was very chilly, but I got in the water anyway because I thought, Hey, when will I be back here again? My daughter and husband got in with me for the first cave when we had sun, but it was too cold for them for the last two caves. Swimming to the small caves and enjoying the sea life snorkeling in the Mediterranean Sea was definitely a fun trip. Please note there these are small caves just enough for one person not like you would imagine a big secret cave. But still fun anyway.
We were so fortunate to get a wonderful weather and great sea conditions! We were able to hit all our planned stops. The boat was clean and not crowded, I believe the capacity was 12 and we were 9 adults. The meeting location was very easy to find. We enjoyed our tour guide, she was knowledgeable and made our tour pretty interesting!
Giovanni was an excellent captain - great facts, excellent music & a fun guy! Highly recommend this tour - small boat, comfy seats, clean - Prosecco and a packets of crisps included aswell as snorkelling gear! Make sure you have a photo of your passport or passport as you will neee to write your passport or driving licence number down before boarding the boat!
