A family experience not to be missed! - Excellent crew on board. Explaining and always giving information. Respect the time of photography well, without rushing to finish the journey. I recommend.

Best trip ever...... - Highly recommend this tour, my family and I had the best time. Marie our host and her captain allowed us to stream our choice of music through their speaker whilst travelling fast in the ocean. Marie was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the area, it's history, the wildlife, and marine mammals. They took us inside the caves and took photos of us with our camera allowing us beautiful pictures to share memories with others. We dipped in the sea, walked on sandy beaches and laughed on the boat with the sun beaming down and the wind in our hair...a trip to remember forever.

Will book again - Great communication at the start with Olivia when booking the trip from the UK. Unfortunately the day of the trip it was raining so we rang the company asking if we could book the next day, which wasn't a problem. The next day the weather wasn't any better and had an email and phone call informing us the cave part of the trip was not going ahead due to weather conditions and asked if we wanted to rebook. We had another trip booked for the next day so said we would still do the boat trip. However conditions weren't great and my girlfriend was very uncomfortable on the RIB boat so we turned back to the harbour. Staff were fine about and we were told a full refund would be given. Although I had to email the company again on return to the UK about the refund, good communication from Olivia again and refund sorted out a couple days later Staff at the marina were really friendly and enthusiastic and while we was only on the boat for 10 minutes the guy giving us information and facts would have made the trip really fun and interesting.. It was just a real shame about the weather

To flee - Overbooked boat, no space available on board despite a confirmed reservation. The staff refused to offer us any solution and were totally indifferent. Service inacceptable.
