Very good experience, recommended without hesitation - A superb discovery of landscapes seen from the sea. The semi-rigid outing offers a clear view and the size of the boat allows you to slip anywhere between the rocks and even enter the caves. A widely recommended experience. The top management team and particularly Émilie our captain of the day. Thank you !!!

A walk not to be missed - Flawless from the 1st to the last minute. A top-notch boat and captain with explanations on the fauna and flora, delicate passages between the rocks and as a bonus a little hello to the dolphins!

Exhilarating and beautiful at the same time! - Great trip to visit this beautiful stretch of coastline. High speed boat trip there and back a real thrill and an unexpected bonus, but not for the faint hearted!
