Great experience - Absolutely loved this excursion! We had four stops where we could jump off the boat to swim, including one where we could swim into a little cave. Never felt rushed. Relaxed and fun! Great guides. Would definitely recommend.

Experienced and friendly guide! - Although the bulk of the people doing these boat tours were in their twenties, our multigenerational family had a great time on Antonio's boat! He was a fantastic host. He made my 9-year-old son, the only kid, feel included by showing him some of the boat's special features. He spoke with my mother about family life and aging in Sardinia while everyone else went swimming. I appreciated the flashlight he strapped to my wrist so I could snorkel into a dim sea cave to admire the local coral. It was a wonderful trip!

Best day on the water! - Our two Japanese girls trying to snorkel. They put on their life jackets and snorkel gear and spent most the time out their backs. Captain Antonio was hilarious.

Great tour - Fabulous your with Antonio and Barbara. Will not forget it. Great scenery, secluded beaches, and beautiful swimming. Nice glass of Prosecco at the end, loved it.
Antonio was most helpful when getting back on the boat after a swim. There is a ladder, just not so easy to maneuver. Tour meetup location was easy to show the taxi driver from my cruise ship. Do not walk, it's 2 miles. Only 8 adults on one boat. Worth every penny.

Fun snorkelling day! - The skipper took us to breathtaking beaches, caves, towers and she explained the history behind them. We had enough time to snorkel on each swim stop and there were so many colourful fish! She gave us a glass of prosseco om our last swimming stop to celebrate. We all felt safe during our activity- good snorkelling gear and life jackets.
