Drivers drove too fast. Visibility poor and not much sea life. Trip should have been cancelled because of poor weather conditions.

We had a great guide and driver. They picked us up from our villa and drove us across the island. The sea was beautiful and we were lucky enough to spot dolphins.

Der Ausflug ist mit 6 Stunden angegeben, aber es waren gerade einmal 3 Stunden. Für 3 Stunden ist der Preis definitiv zu hoch.

The trip was super nice. The two guys on the boat were very kind. Compared to other offers the price is a bit high but the experience was great.

The driver came on time. The local lads on the boat were really nice. We had time to watch dolphins, the reef and the sandbanks. We really recommend this activity!
