Would really recommend the trip, Yannis was kind, enthusiastic & helpful. We stopped to swim and snorkel and had a delicious spaghetti lunch towards the end of the trip. Would definitely recommend”

We have been on other trips, which was fantastic, but this is the ultimate experience. It’s perfect for age 8 upto wathever. We are a couple in age 55, and we where like children again.
