We had a great few hours on this trip. Our guide Dimitri was so funny and lovely. We actually saw a dolphin jumping in the water on our way to our first stop! We snorkels at a few locations and then got to spend an hour or so on a secluded beach before heading back.

We had a fabulous time on the boat. There were 10 of us so they got a bigger boat for us. Tour guide was great. Snorkels provided was much better than our googles so many fish in the water to see. We took our go-pro to capture it all.

Early in the morning, you are still completely alone at most spots. Our guide Ingmar made the whole tour even more beautiful. We have rarely seen someone who does their job with such passion. We can recommend the tour to everyone!

Great cruise to beautiful sandy beaches with turqoise crystal clear water. Snorkelling is a must. Lots of small fish to see. Diving as well, from the boat and the cliff at some spots.

I recommend this activity, a beautiful discovery of clear waters
