Overall, it was a great experience!”

“Don't listen to the bad reviews on here - boat tour was very good value for money! We got the boat depicted in pic 3. We had 9 people on the boat and was more than enough room. Our guide Georgio was really lovely and actually asked the group collectively if we'd rather swim more or sight see more. We picked to swim more but I still feel we were able to see so much of the coast and swam for about 30-40 minutes which was more than enough. We were provided with nice biscuits and Prosecco and was told about the history of the coastline. Only thing is you…”

We booked the experience 15 mins before the departing time so we were nervous there would be a problem with that but there was none at all on the other hand, even though you know it’ll be fun from the moment you read the description of the activity, it ends up being even better. Captain Paolo and his team were super friendly and fun, the food was really good and not scarce at all (and neither were the alcoholic drinks haha), and the energy altogether was spectacular. And of course, the views of the city/mountains + the fish while you snorkel… we felt like we were in…”
