All I can say is wow. My husband and I were the only two on the tour so it was basically a private tour. Right from the start we knew we were in for a wonderful trip. We saw parts of the island that you wouldn't see if you just took a stroll. We saw some incredible sights, turtles, sharks, sparrow hawks to name just a few. Our guide and driver were so incredibly helpful and generous with their time. We weren't rushed at any point, and the amount of information we were given was amazing. Santa Monica beach is just incredible. Would 100% recommend.
Something different

Half day tour booked via TUI. Picked up from hotel and to another hotel for some.more passe gers then off to Rabil. It was lovely seeing parts of the island that I wouldn't have usually seen. Friendly village locals and some great history to be learnt from.thw rep. Once of main roads can be a bit bump, especially when off road going to Santa Monica beach. Lovely experience, bought some gifts from the locals and had a really nice time. 10yr old daughter loved the sandblasting. Nice little bar on Santa Monica beach. Ask TUI to drive you up ther if you're not that into beaches or going in the sea. They will gladly drive you over (cannot walk due to distance/terrain) where you can sit, admire the view and watch the world go by. Bliss.
Holidays in peace

Impeccable, friendly, efficient staff without exception. Hotel in need of general repairs (Riu Touareg) It's a shame the kilometers of beach have a practically inaccessible sea. Very pleasant animation. Weak drinks (all inclusive)

From €45.00
