Nous avons passé un très bon moment, tout était très bien organisé. Les paysages sont exceptionnels, les arrêts sont laissent le temps d’aller se promener et de se baigner. A prévoir (même en octobre): - maillots de bain - serviettes - argent liquide car les boissons (café, thé, coca, etc..) sont payantes à bord

Loved it! We were served food, water, wine and juice. Kristina was very nice and helpful. The boat itself it’s quite old and not really comfortable but for the price is ok. Visited places were beautiful but it would be to stay a little bit longer. Overall good value for money.

I went with a group of friends and would definitely recommend. You need cash for the boat to the blue cave and there isn't any an ATM on the island so be prepared for this.

He is super kind! He knows how to make children laugh and adjusted our journey for my 7-year-old daughter. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour even though it was late October.

Very pleasant day with a charming skipper. To do again with great pleasure…
