Bumpy fun ride, cave hide and beach fun - Nice, calm and experienced captain, small boats, not too crowded and some Music. The stay on the beach was nice, however you almost have to buy a bed since there is not much place to just place your tower somewhere.

Super experience for family with older children and teens. - Super experience for family with older children and teens! Beautiful on the sea on an otherwise very hot day. Pass, pretty fast speed, fun with 90's playlist at full guffe! The playlist was even approved by our 18-year-old! Good that there were life vests available to anyone who wanted it. Attentive and nice guide. The diving masks that were to borrow had seen better days, will recommend bringing your own. We wish the time was distributed slightly different with more than 20 minutes in the cave. At the beach in Karaburun we got enough time anyway, since the guide returned later than agreed.
All in all, we are super pleased with the experience and will definitely recommend it to others. We were two families with children of 10 and 12 and three teenagers. Remember that the restaurant at Karaburun only accepts cash.

Totally did not get what is offered! - DE boat trip itself was very nice. We were going to go DEN swimming in a cave, but once in the cave it turned out that you were not allowed to swim there. Floated in that cave for 20 minutes. Then sailed to an island, dropped there. DE description said to go snorkeling but there were no masks, they were apparently in another boat. With pain EN effort they found 1 more child model mask in the boat that did not fit. The part where you were allowed to swim was the size of a paddling pool. Well DAN's 2 hours there is a very long time. It does not match DE description at all. A pirate story would be told but that story is ragged in one sentence.

Beautiful Scenery, But Poorly Executed Tour - The trip started with a pleasant 30-minute boat ride to the Ali Haxhi Cave. There, we had the opportunity to jump into the water, and there were masks and snorkels available to borrow on the boat. According to the tour description, the guide was supposed to tell us the history of the cave, but unfortunately, he didn’t speak English and said nothing throughout the entire tour.
After 20 minutes, we sailed on and were dropped off at a beach on the Karaburun Peninsula. Our guide used hand gestures to indicate that we should be back at the pier by 1:30 PM. He then left us and sailed away.
We had three hours on our own at this beach. There was no explanation of what we could see or explore in the area, so we had to figure it out ourselves. The beach lay below a slope, and above it was a gravel road. We walked about 15 minutes in one direction, but there was nothing to see – just dense shrubbery on both sides. We then walked for about 30 minutes in the opposite direction, but it was the same: thick bushes and no real view of the sea, so it wasn’t an exciting hike.
We returned to the beach, where you could swim, rent sunbeds for a fee, or eat at an expensive and rather underwhelming restaurant. We ended up spending a couple of hours just waiting to be picked up.
This was not what we had expected. We had hoped for more guidance, but we were completely left to ourselves and felt tricked.
This is not a tour we can recommend to anyone – we’re sure there are much better alternatives out there.
Also, when we signed up, we were promised a water or a beer, but we never received either
