Highly recommend this trip. Staff were super friendly and well organised. Nina was particularly good and made it great fun too. Plenty of water was provided all day. The lunch at the Muslim village was also excellent. The beaches and the caves were incredible. Fabulous experience. Only slight blot was a half hour delay to our return transfer to the hotel.

It was a good tour, the landscapes are amazing, the weather at each place is pretty good. The guide (English language) did not give explanations of the places that we went, only to directions of the itinerary. Our boat was full and there were people who were at the tip under the sun all the way, and it didn't seem fair.

It was an amazing tour. Everything was perfectly timed and the tour guides were fun and friendly. We had snacks and drinks throughout the whole tour and lunch was great. The speed boat was by far the best decision. Great tour and excellent value for money. The only downside is that besides the money you pay for the tour you need to tip every single person otherwise they won’t be happy. It happened to us with the bus driver. Be prepare with that extra money for tips.
