Great kayak excursion :)
lucashL7579SJ, October 2026
The kayak tour was really nice and was a lot of fun even as a first-time kayaker. The group was manageable, which is also to be rated positively. The tour guide, Irina, was very nice, competent, and had a lot of expertise about the dolphins and turtles we saw. The snorkeling at the cliffs was also a great experience. I can really recommend this trip.

Amazing
chloerO8755DZ, October 2026
Such an experience we got to see turtles, dolphins and a shark! The guide was very attentive and made the trip very enjoyable. We enjoyed a swim stop to see all the fish and had plenty of opportunities for photos taken by the guide. I will say they mean it when they say you need a level of fitness as it was quite windy the day we went and required some strength to get back! Overall such a great day, Thankyou!
