“Amazing boat trip - Our trip was great! The locations were beautiful and the ride was smooth despite the conditions being a bit choppy in areas! We were able to go swimming near the blue lagoon and explore some of the towns nearby! Our skipper, Josip was incredibly informative about the surrounding areas and history of the islands. The price for gas was a lot less than we expected which was also very nice. Overall the best day of our trip so far and would 100% recommend to a friend.” - Reviewed at 2024-04-17

“Tour to a magic sunset on the sea. Great experience - The tour is spectacular. The light at the sunset on the blue lagoon takes multiple colors and the trip back to the port when it’s already darkening, with the end of the sunset on one side and the moon on the other is very beautiful. The personnel of the company is extremely professional and kind. The boat is comfortable and very clean. They brought perfectly clean towels for us and snorkeling masks. We could bring something to eat with us so we had a wonderful sunset aperitif. We recommend both the tour and the agency.” - Reviewed at 2024-08-20
