The trip was well organized and structured. We felt well looked after. Off Isola dei Cavoli, we saw a variety of fish, rocks, and flora.

We went as a family, and it was a very special experience. It was our first time snorkeling, and we felt very comfortable and well-accompanied by the guides. We saw starfish, groupers, centipedes, and a sunken ship. It was a very family-friendly atmosphere, and we highly recommend it.

Great tour with nice people. We were fully equipped at the beginning: full-body wetsuit, mask, and snorkel. Everything was very well organized. Then we went out for about half an hour to two different snorkeling spots, with tea and cookies provided in between. It was a lot of fun.
