Nice trip. At the beginning you get a packed lunch consisting of a sandwich, wrap, apple, banana and 0.5L water. On the beach there are various kiosks with ice cream, drinks and food. Of course, a bit more expensive than on the mainland. All in all a nice day and the scenery is very pretty. We would recommend the excursion.

Best ever explore hidden beaches, kayaking and so much fun. Enough pleasure that last long time after.

Todays activity is very great. Zoky is an amazing guide. Highly recommended.

Smooth arrangements, the staff was friendly. The trip met our expectations.
