Incredible Adventure - The catamaran ride turned out to be quite the adventure, with choppy seas and strong winds adding to the excitement. Fortunately, no one in our group is prone to seasickness, so we were able to fully enjoy the experience and take in the stunning scenery. Our captain and crew were incredibly attentive, checking in regularly to ensure everyone was comfortable, well-hydrated, and satisfied. Upon arriving at Dia, we were welcomed with a brief history of the island, followed by clear safety instructions and an invitation to snorkel. Once everyone was back on board, a beautifully presented dinner and drinks were served. Despite our group’s many dietary restrictions, every need was graciously accommodated, allowing us to enjoy the delicious spread with peace of mind. On the return journey, we were incredibly lucky to spot dolphins swimming alongside our catamaran—a magical moment our quick-thinking captain managed to capture on video and share with us. It was a truly memorable experience, and one we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Amazing Experience, Exceptional Crew! - The crew was absolutely fantastic. The captain took us to a quieter, more secluded spot because the southern side was packed with people and it was truly incredible! A place just for us, crystal,clear waters and complete peace. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Can’t thank the team enough for making it such a special day. Highly recommended!

Unacceptable and disappointing - Terrible, they called us 1 hour in advance to cancel the experience, claiming a “technical problem”, on the last day of our holiday. Fortunately we managed to find something similar in extremis. And finally, docked at Dia Island, we see the catamaran Mystique II arrive next to us. I tell the agency CYMA Sails by Whatsapp, which continues its lie, until I send pictures of the boat in real time. They confessed to their lie once they had a fait accompli... disgusted.
