Vasili was excellent, very professional and friendly, explained everything to us and our 10 year old, even let him drive quite a bit when it was safe to do so. The boat is pristine, the sights unbelievable, we were taken to the Blue Lagune but also to less turistic, but even more beautiful beaches. There are life vests, snorkeling equipment, some towels and cold drinks available. We went back a second time for sunset cruise after two days. An absolute must do, the best part of our holiday without a question, and a highlight if you have kids/teenagers as well!

A wonderful cruise, very helpful staff. We had trouble getting to the meeting point due to fires, but the situation was resolved efficiently and positively for us. The gentleman we traveled with was very knowledgeable, shared his knowledge with us, and showed us a beautiful place. We highly recommend it!
