Highly recommend booking this excursion! Service is amazing the crew were so attentive. A lady called Antonia actually saved the day for us because we got confused with the boat times and missed it by minutes, so she literally drove us to the next pick up point just in time to catch it so we wouldn’t miss out!! These are the most genuine people and very caring towards tourists. My ONLY criticism is that the boat was slightly packed with kids however it’s just a case of picking the right boat trip depending on your age and the type of experience you want to have so that was our own problem! Overall a very good experience!

An absolute highlight that I would recommend to everyone. The crew was extremely committed and friendly. We saw lots of turtles and were very close to them. The other stops and views were also interesting.

Flawless experience!! Made us feel comfortable even when one of us was a little nervous. Small group allows one on one if needed. Thank you Juergen for this awesome memory.

The stag were lovey and the boat was clean we went on the same one last year and loved it so we booked again this year

It's great, I recommend it! We were able to swim with the turtles!!! And I love the sunset
