Overall rating

(30 reviews)

It was certainly one of the best experiences of my life but I believe my partner and I didn’t get the full experience. We were shown a picture depicting the route of our dive beforehand and we didn’t go nearly as far as the picture showed. There was someone in our group who was really struggling and therefore the instructor had to hold back and ensure the safety of our other participant which I fully understand. I would recommend the company employ more instructors to ensure everyone gets their best experience. Still very fun and the waters were beautiful!

We had an amazing time on our boat rental around Halkidiki! The captain was so friendly, and the boat was both comfortable and well-kept. We discovered beautiful hidden coves and swam in the stunning clear waters. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend it! Thanks 😍

So happy that we decided to join this trip, was great from beginning to end, very informative and friendly staff. The island of Ammouliani was beautiful, we bought some beautiful local jewellery and a few gifts, tasted the best vale waffle ever and the weather was fantastic.

Such a nice experience, we loved it. Guide was top, kind and taking care 👍🏼👍🏼 leaving the place with an incredible memorie 😍 perfect for a first Time

It was just great. But there is no toilet on board, which could cause problems for small children
