That was fun and delightful 🩵💙🪄 - Bruno, Marcos, and (I’m so sorry I forgot the third name, darling 😄) are such a vibe 🥰 Their sense of humor was the perfect ingredient for the whole trip. It was an absolute delight exploring the coast by boat - the views, paired with the team’s energy, made it truly special. They also recommended some places for dinner, and wow… we were craving grilled fish, and we’re so grateful for their suggestion. AllGarbe Restaurant offers incredibly fresh fish and seafood, grilled to perfection and seasoned so well - it’s genuinely finger-licking good! A huge thank you to our waiter, Fernando, who was absolutely amazing. He made everything so easy, helping us choose the best combinations and being wonderfully flexible in creating a great dinner experience for us. He was also very considerate of my dietary needs - I can’t eat garlic or onion, and it was no problem at all to adjust the dishes, which I really appreciated. Fernando, muy obrigado! You are a legend! Dima, îți mulțumim pentru ospitalitate și căldură! Special thanks as well to the chef and the kitchen team for their mastery in creating such a sensational experience. We’re leaving this with full hearts - delighted and deeply grateful for everything we got to experience 🤍

Magnificent. A must-do - We have booked the tour for 1:30 PM. Because of the wind, we were unable to enter the caves, but that did not prevent us from experiencing this exceptional adventure! The landscapes are magnificent, the guide Evson was very interesting and full of humor. The experienced pilot. We truly recommend this outing.

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.

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.
