Such a fun outing. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, very competent, made us feel safe and was very considerate of our family’s kids ( Ages 6-10). Beautiful!
We had a wonderful time! The sail boat was the perfect way to experience the beautiful coastline and so peaceful!
Great day with Valentin and Elliott. We were taken care of from start to finish. Valentin took the time to show us the spots for snorkeling. I recommend it!
We loved our afternoon excursion with Valentin! The sailboat was super comfortable and he gave us lots of information about the surrounding area without it being like a tour. Relaxing stop for swimming and SUP. It was a perfect afternoon to celebrate a family birthday and would highly recommend!
Very nice experience and recommend 10/10. Paddle Board, snorkelling and sailing! Try to find the boat, they don’t have an office or check-in point. Right in front of the restaurant Banana something. The GPS point is the right location. Park at the port parking lot, it’s empty and so close! We tried to find a spot before the gps location and didn’t get any luck. We ended up at the port closer!! Approx 10€
Very clean boat, excellent and skilled captain!
Great walk with a very good professional and friendly guide; I recommend it to everyone. A beautiful discovery of the Mediterranean with calm and serenity
Amazing, Valentine and Elliot are very friendly and it was an amazing tour, they let us decide whether to swim or just tour. We snorkeled, listened to music and talked all 4, definitely very nice
That’s sailing 🤪 Crystal clear water and good times guaranteed!
