The trip was amazing. The crew was really nice and helpful. With the snorkeling we stayed with the crewmember and got to see all the goods of the reef.
Fantastic value for money ! Great atmosphere on the boat with friendly crew. We were lucky to have the perfect day - the sea was really calm , visibility great and the snorkelling was amazing . A very memorable experience !
Well done in organising such a great trip for my parents. Both of them around 70 years old enjoyed the trip, the support and friendly crew on board!
We booked this trip because of the low number of participants and because it says it’s an ecotourism thing. Those parts were kinda true, but what we didn’t really enjoy was the way the crew felt a bit unfriendly, no nice vibe between them and towards us. The main issue was probably the divemaster that talked to us like we were idiots everytime we asked for something (wrong size of wetsuits, to change fins, etc), or the way he was asking us to get ready or stuff about the dive. To the point where I felt uncomfortable to dive with him and preferred canceling it. I wish the trip was more alive, maybe a bit of music and a bit of interactions with us would’ve felt a bit better but yeah… thank god the weather was nice and we were able to appreciate a bit of the natuee 🩵
