It was a very nice experience! I highly recommend it. They will make you feel at home. From the beginning, the captain explained to us that the weather was not good for doing this route. It would definitely be better if someone chooses it during the summer months. The program was indeed modified as stated. The captain was willing to talk to people and cheerful. It had nice music! But most importantly he told us that we can travel for free the next time as some routes did not take place. I definitely recommend it!!!

An absolutely fantastic day out. The crew were fabulous, so friendly, informative and very efficient. This day trip is fantastic value for money. All the stops were beautiful, so much swimming in the sea and the BBQ on the beach was delicious. The boat was busy but plenty of room for everyone. My daughter had a free mojito when the crew realised it was her birthday, such a lovely touch. Fantastic day that we will always remember. Big thanks to the whole crew, you were wonderful.

We had a lovely day and everything went really well. Our 5-year-old daughter also enjoyed it. 20 minutes in the cave was a bit short, but it was still enough time for a swim. The food was delicious and the crew was really nice, courteous and attentive. We felt very comfortable and would do this tour again anytime.

5 Star cruise, The guide, Skipper and staff were superb. Highly recommend this tour and company.

Very nice host and such a beautiful day and area. The food was delicious would highly recommend
