“This is a group experience. Boat was clean and safe. Diverse experience with people from Germany, Saudi Arabia, USA, and others. Friendly captain and tour guide. We swam 2x. Our tour guide gave us a map and gave us details to travel around the island from the taxi to buses. He also explained different places, like the best place to watch the sunset, grotto, and the Virgin Mary in white cave. I went solo and the captain gladly snapped videos and pics of me. I really appreciated that. We finished the tour with a toast of homemade limoncello with everyone on the boat!”
