A splendid afternoon out - A brilliant afternoon out on the water with Umberto and the team. They were helpful and friendly and the snorkelling was fantastic. My 15yo son and I had a wonderful time and saw many fish, tiny jellyfish and (we think) an octopus! We needed to be back in time for our ferry and they went out of their way to get us there. Highly recommend this trip.
