It was a really fun way...
Rachel_R, October 2026
It was a really fun way to see the caves along the coast. One of the caves was a famous screensaver. Even though I was the only native English speaker on the tour, the guide thoughtfully translated for me when I couldn't keep up in French.

Very nice activity but...

Very nice activity, but it must be specified that there is a lot of wind on the boat and having a jacket is imperative.

A great trip we saw dolphins went into beautiful caves and had excitement on the sea. The staff were great. We recommend going on a trip with Lorna Pedro and Luna.

Mix up
Venture802051, September 2026
Sadly our trip was cancelled due to the windy weather, which we understand but it wasn't made very clear in telling customers this was the case. Apparently they used a megaphone to explain which they clearly didn't as we in the cafe No 4 opposite and heard nothing. Anyways these things happen and unfortunately asked for a refund as we were heading home the next day
