Excellent tour - Wonderful experience! Medaqua did a great job making our snorkel tour fun and memorable. We had plenty of time in the water and saw a lot of sea life. They could have given a bit more explanation during the short tour around the islands but overall we enjoyed everything and would recommend!

Very enjoyable snorkeling trip - We were a three generation group - granddad, daughter and grandson aged 9. We all thoroughly enjoyed our snorkeling trip to the Isles Medes. The weather was perfect and our English speaking guide/instructor took great care to point out the wide variety of fish and rock formations during our 50 minute swim. Wet suits, flippers and masks all reasonably good quality and new snorkel given to everyone. Total time from check in, fitting wetsuits, walking to the boat, safety instructions and what to look for, boat trip to islands, snorkeling, swim at end and return was 2 hours. There were two other groups on the boat, 8 Catalan and 7 French speaking with a group leader fluent in the language.

Beautiful, but less spectacular than expected. Organization good. - We have often snorkeled off the coast of Costa Brava. We expected to see more and different fish because it is a protected nature reserve, but that was disappointing.

Expendable - Although the kids are nice, the activity is very fair. To visit a nature reserve like the Medes, you don't see much nor do they explain anything to you. I wouldn't repeat.

Disappointed with the excursion - The day we booked the Medes Islands snorkeling excursion was a windy day. Therefore, we did not go around the Medes Islands by boat nor was the snorkelling what we expected. Very cloudy water and practically nothing could be seen. I understand that the agency cannot control the weather but it could cancel the reservation or change it to another day if the circumstances are not good for the excursion. It was not at all what we expected. We were very excited and we didn't see anything.
