Picturesque kayaking. - It was great being on the water. Our guide, Martin, took very good care of everyone! He adjusted the level of difficulty for those of us who needed help.

Athletic adventure - Beautiful azure blue Mediterranean waters highlight this trip. However, this is NOT a “day at the beach”—it is a 2 1/2 to 3 sea kayaking trip. We are a bit older and did not anticipate the intensity of the kayaking and the athletic ability needed for this excursion. The guides Jose, Gabriel and Martin were outstanding with superior kayaking skills and lots of humor. Martin said to the group: We want you to all have fun today, let us (the 3 guides) take care of everything else. They were also personally helpful to my wife and I with the kayaking, “towing” us at one point!

Nice trip but there wasn't much to see while snorkeling - Great team and very helpful. We weren't that experienced in handling the kayak but the guys helped us immediately after we capsized. Unfortunately we lost our water bottles. There were no replacements. It was a nice trip.

Irresponsible gide - Our group of 18 people was split into two groups. Our gide was great and funny, but the gide from the other group looked like a grumpy 20y/o. At our second stop we got an apple from our gides. The gide from the other group handed out the apples while staying in the kayaks. When he playfully threw an apple to a guy it fell into the water and when the guy tried to grab for it the kayak flipped. The woman that was also in the kayak began to panic because she couldn't get back in the kayak and probably also due to the shock. The whole time she tried to get back into the kayak the gide didn't help or even asked how she was doing or if she hurt herself (because she fell close to his kayak). Instead he just looked away with a smirk on his face. Later he and his group, except for the couple that fell into the water, also came to the beach. After 20 minutes or so he decided to go back to the couple and disconnect their kayak from the rest so they could go back already, alone and unsupervised... To me and my partner this just seemed very irresponsible. Ofcourse this is the action of just one person and not the organisation as a whole.

Not fun ruined a whole day of trip - We should not have been out on the water in my opinion. The waves were way too choppy for novice kayakers. At one point we lost the people Infront of us and our guide behind us. This was not relaxing at all we were not able to enjoy ourselves at all. When we finally got to the cove areas it wasnt even worth snorkeling we were so tired from paddling the waves and trying not to tip. The snorkeling was poor nothing to see and the reef area was dead. Made for a nice break to catch our breath from the extreme kayaking. Instructor yelled at a pair of foreigners who got swept up in the waves and almost hit their heads against the rocky cliffs. Scary and stressful tour would not do again.

Not worth the price or the experience - This trip is very overpriced for the offering. First of all, of the “6 hour” day trip as noted in the description is in fact 3 hours of travelling (there and back) and 3 hours of the actual experience. The entire experience itself was very rushed, you could not take an easy kayak, take any pictures or even take in the surroundings while you were kayaking, you had to power through down a strip. If you fell behind, the guide would “taxi” you (tying your kayak to theirs). The snorkelling was probably about 30 minutes of the full time (which was also a rushed experience) and the snorkelling gear was of a low quality - you couldn’t see clearly under the water. The lunch provided was also poor and not what you would expect given the price of the trip. And again, the time given for the lunch was very short, you had to wolf down the sandwich just to get ready for the bus. Please also note, no bottled water was provided. The trip consisted of bus ride, 5 minutes to change, kayak up, snorkel, kayak down, snorkel (could cliff dive as well but you could either cliff dive or snorkel as there “wasn’t time” for both) and then a kayak back to the beach whereby a sandwich was provided. You got another 5 minutes to get dressed and then head to the bus. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.
