    Stunning place. The water and sand look like the Maldives (minus palm trees). The staff and service were absolutely fantastic. Great food and professional, well-organised snorkelling. The only downside is collecting tips at the end. For a premium, expensive excursion, this feels inappropriate and should be included in the price, especially since standard trips from hotels cost half as much. Nonetheless, highly recommended. 5 stars.

    Day out snorkeling was really more an island trip by boat with snorkeling attached. 30 mins tops in the watter the rest was a day out at a beach and for the cost it just doesn't feel like value for money 1 bit. I could swim out to coral and have the same experience without 3 hours of travel on Bus and boat. Additionally felt chaotic lost the guide twice, van driver was nuts and had to pay extra few at the marina to go in. Wasn't amused and I think missile really

    The tour was effectively organised and explained. Plenty of time was allowed on the island. There was an opportunity to snorkel off the beach in addition to the actual main experience

    J'ai été aujourd'hui avec ma fille de 8 ans. On a été émerveillés mais surtout je voudraiscparler du personnel (guide, chauffeur etc) Les guides ont été formidables, pendant le snorleking ma fille avait son tuba cassé, je lui ai donné le mien, le guide est toujours resté près d'elle et m'aidait quand j'étais fatiguée. La gentillesse, la bienveillance, le respect et j'en passe c'est magique. En Belgique c'est malheureusement autre chose... Équipe au top, formidable, on n'oublierai jamais 🥰❤️

    Es hat alles super geklappt, von Abholung bis wieder zum Hotel zurück. Ein Kompliment an Omar er war sehr freundlich. Das Essen war auch sehr gut. Wir haben viele bunte Fische und Korallen sowie Delfine gesehen. Alles in allem ein gelungener Ausflug. Sehr zu empfehlen. Preis Leistung stimmt. Vielen Dank
