Review of Polignano a Mare’s private boat tour with sea caves, swimming, snorkeling, Apulian prosecco, tarallini, and music.
“Great boat trip. Great spot to snorkel. Our captain Nicolas was friendly, but his humor a bit too sexual for our liking. But he gave much to swim, wish was really nice!”
Review of Mallorca’s Cap de Formentor snorkeling tour, with boat views, guided swimming, equipment, wildlife, price, timing, and practical tips.
“Over het algemeen hebben we een fijne ervaring gehad met een vriendelijke gids en goed materiaal. De activiteit zelf voelde echter vrij kort aan. Het staat aangegeven dat de activiteit ongeveer drie uur duurt, maar we waren al na ongeveer twee uur terug, inclusief de uitleg en het klaarmaken van het materiaal. De tijd die we daadwerkelijk in het water doorbrachten of met de boot vaarden, was dus korter dan verwacht. Het koekje en vooral het drinkbaar water achteraf op de boot waren wel een plus.”
Pick a coast, a lagoon or a kind of day.
