The tour was great. The guide was terrific. The only thing that could be solved better would be to know what the vehicle that takes you to the port looks like. There are so many drivers there and it's easy to get overwhelmed, even though everyone is nice and friendly. The guide showed us beautiful corners and was very helpful.

Unfortunately, we had strong seas and had to stop looking for dolphins. Our guide assessed the situation very well and transferred those with children who were afraid to another boat and drove directly to a quiet bay for snorkeling. Everyone else continued the search in another boat! So in the end everyone was happy. All in all it was a great tour.

Our first GYG trip was a complete success. Arrived with a little skepticism, everything went like clockwork! As soon as we had left the port area, we were greeted in a friendly manner. The transfer in the air-conditioned minibus to the marina started without waiting. In the shade we waited briefly for another group and then we went to the boat. We were 18 people which was very comfortable for the size of the boat. At full speed we went out to sea. Even the view of the coast from the sea in bright sunshine is an experience. At first we feared that we wouldn't see any dolphins because of the somewhat strong waves (3-5 meters), but the guide knew what he was doing and so we were able to admire them from near and far! Hammer! The subsequent bay for snorkeling was beautiful and we were even able to swim/dive with turtles. Despite Ramadan we got (branded) drinks included. On the way back we saw fantastic hotels on the shore. Tip: Be seaworthy
