5.00It was a great trip, easy to book, easy to drive and was a great experience. It was well organised and we were fully briefed before we headed out. Great views from the boat, be prepared to get wet if the sea is a little choppy.

5.00A wonderful, different, and fun experience. Hanzaadan was waiting for us on the boat, explained everything very well, prepared the cooler, and explained where we could navigate and the safety measures, including GPS. If there was any problem, he would arrive quickly; there were life jackets and snorkel goggles. He was very kind, and the quality-price ratio was excellent; I would definitely do it again.

5.00A lovely way to spend a couple of hours on the sea. Well organised and we had excellent communication with the operator. They had GPS on the boat so it was reassuring to know that we could get hold of them immediately if required

5.00Brilliant afternoon with family on the boat. We went for 2 hours which was great for kids under 12, as an adult I would’ve liked one more! The guys looked after us when we couldn’t find a bouy so we could go for a swim. FYI bouys are all shapes and sizes and sometimes look like cartons which is why we struggled to find one. Thoroughly recommend this experience 😎
We've headed for papagayo. Sou a blue sky and a very pleasant morning sun. We were able to swim and enjoy

5.00Great experience for all the family, unique way to view the coastline and do some sightseeing and snorkelling as well. The kids all enjoyed it and we'd happily go and do it again. The instructions were sent to us the day before and were clear and easy to follow and the briefing we had before taking the boat out the harbour was too
The most amazing time

5.00These guys are so helpful. We had a problem with the ladder getting back in to the boat. We called them up, they came out to help immediately. Before leaving port they explain how to drive the boat and the best places to go. Really cannot recommend these enough. Thank you for making our time amazing.
