Very nice kajak and snorkeling trip - We had a really nice tour with our guide Luke, who told us some interesting facts about the region and showed us the caves. It was amazing to experience these impressive cliffs from the seaside. We can just recommend the tour and our guide Luke :)

Super Fun, Amazing Experience!! - Booked this excursion as a suprise for my parents last weekend hoping for the best.
They absolutely loved it, massive thank you to george and his colleague. Unfortunately we were not able to do the snorkling due to the waves being strong, however putting our safety first we all knew that was the best for us. Felt extremely sick in the middle of the ocean, both guides always checked up and george stayed close as myself and my sister were quite behind.
Loved the experience, the guides made our trip even better!!!
Dont hesitate, You just have to hit that book button and experience it for yourself :)

Big waves didn’t stop us! - We had a great time kayaking in the Mediterranean. The day we went the water was rough with some big waves and our guides gave us the opportunity to turn back if we wanted to. The whole group continued on. All in all a great time and the staff were fantastic.

A great family activity, run by a friendly team. - We really enjoyed this kayak and snorkel trip, which we did with our two kids (9 and 12 years old). Our guide Jorge was great. We were all new to kayaking and he put us at ease straight away, taught us all the basics and shared interesting information with us throughout the trip. It was good value for money and a great way to see the coast up close.

Fun in the sun on the water - A chance to see the cliffs from a new perspective. Loved paddling into the cave. Snorkeling was a great bonus. The guides clearly loved what they do and were loads of fun.

Excellent guides, and incredible views from the water. - As experienced kayakers, we loved the challenge level of the Mediterranean sea coast, right up against the rocky cliffs. We took spectacular pictures, both above the waterline, and below, with our inexpensive underwater camera. Our guides were super knowledgeable, super friendly, and fluent in numerous languages. The snorkeling was good, although the East wind stirred the water up a bit. No problem, though. Overall, we figure we were on the water for 2+ hours, and traveled at least 3 miles along the coast. Two small suggestions for the tour company: First, it would be good to make it clear that there is no water available nearby. I.e., Bring your own. Second, this is not a trip for a true beginners - as the waters were not easy paddling. Fun for us though! Thanks for everything.

Worth forgetting - This started out really good! My wife and I were very excited to go kayaking for her first time. Unfortunately because of the strong winds, our kayak flipped resulting in us getting in the water. Even though my wife can swim, this affected her very much and unfortunately we had to cut our tour short. And I don’t think my wife will ever want to go again.
