3.00Nice snorkeling trip. Nice and sociable people. No snacks, With the drinks, however, water no other choice. When snorkeling itself little to see, much the same.

1.00Unfortunately we had a sick child and could not cancel at Trip Advisor. 150 euros completely gone, for nothing. You really need to do something about your policies.
Excellent!

4.00Had a great snorkeling trip with family ( of 4 ). The staff was great and friendly. Spoke good english. Michele led the snorkeling group on the island of Palamaiola (?) and «The mouse island». We didn’t see a lot of exciting fish or octopus, but we had fun nonetheless. Can recommend this trip.

5.00We had booked a private tour for our family, and it was just an amazing experience. The team is great, and we had a fun trip with many beautiful sights. Lots of fruits and refreshments included. Great! The snorkeling was great, and it was a fantastic trip for us all. So thank you!
Super fun

5.00It was so fun, the fruit was so refreshing. The experience was great, I would say it would not be the best for small children you have to be a good swimmer and the boat was not suitable for small children. The staff were incredibly friendly and funny. If you want flippers or a wet suit you have to bring it yourself just a mask and snorkel were provided.
