“Overall not value for money if £80 pp. There were some mess up with pickup due to miscommunication between TripAdvisor and company running the tour. Got eventually picked up from hotel as prior arranged but had to use the afternoon tour as alternative. For my daughter and myself it was the first time kayaking and snorkelling. Even though we got short instruction how to kayak, we did not get the hang of keeping directions. So used up a lot more energy than necessary. Kayaking was straight from beach, out towards sea and the to caves where we did the snorkelling. Our tour guide did wait with the group multiple times…”

“Nice to be able to ride a boat without a license! The maneuvers are simple and you can enjoy the sea freely. However the organization leaves something to be desired, our reservation was not noted / taken into account. You needed the passport but it wasn't noted on the reservation, and you have to pay extra fuel knowing that you already pay more through Viator...Auto-translated”
