I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was an entertaining person, and we were all well taken care of. It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was dependent on luck, as it was cloudy that day. Overall, the vibe was good—chill, relaxed, and a great way to recharge.

such an amazing experience! I would 100% recommend and would definitely do it again! I wouldn’t recommend kids under 17/18 to do the atv riding as it can be quiet dangerous tho!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for our dive instructor, Ned, during this diving course. Throughout the lessons, he was incredibly attentive and meticulous, ensuring that we felt safe and well-prepared at all times. His guidance underwater made us feel completely at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience. I highly recommend Ned as an instructor, and I will definitely suggest this course to others who are looking to dive with confidence and peace of mind. Ned also help us take some really good photos and videos, and it’s charged with a reasonable price, so I would also recommend the photography service.
