Honestly had the BEST time out on the boat. Went with two friends and we’re still talking about those coral gardens, like, wowww. The water was so clear it felt unreal. Crew was super chill, helped me fix my mask when it started fogging up lol. Lunch was tasty, not fancy but hit the spot after swimming. Got a bit sunburned but that’s on me (bring more sunscreen!!). Def worth it if you like being in the water.
Came with my husband and our two teens. Was a bit nervous because my youngest isn’t a strong swimmer, but the guides made her feel soooo safe. Saw dolphins!! Not even kidding, right next to the boat. Only thing, music was a tad loud for me, but the kids loved it. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
Went on this tour with my bf and we had a blast. The first island was suuuper pretty, like a screensaver, but got kinda crowded after lunch. Snorkeling was a little intimidating at first (not a strong swimmer here lol), but the guide was patient and made sure nobody got left behind. Saw a few jellyfish but mostly just cool fish and coral. Food on the boat was decent – pasta was a bit cold but the shrimp made up for it. Crew was smiley and kept checking in. Only thing, bring your own towel, theirs are tiny! Would do it again but maybe not on a weekend, gets busy.
The DAY was EPIC! Took my 12yo twins & husband, and we all found something we loved. Dolphins right off the side of the boat (still can't believe it happened), and the snorkeling was even better than last year in Crete. Crew kept the kids laughing with silly jokes. Lunch was surprisingly tasty, especially the fish. The ride back was a bit rough (wind picked up) but nothing too bad. Sunscreen is a MUST. Big shoutout to Captain Samir, who let my son steer for a bit. Worth every penny, honestly.
I went solo and felt super welcomed by everyone, like part of the family. Staff kept checking if I was okay, even brought me extra juice. Snorkeling stops were the highlight, esp the second one with the crazy blue fish. Wish I could’ve stayed in the water longer but the current got strong. All in all, EPIC day.
