Boat left from outside our hotel which was very convenient. we paid for the unlimited alcoholic drinks package so we could choose what and when we wanted. Swim stops were lovely and visit to Turunc where there was a small market. lunch was good, grilled chicken, pasta and salad and was plentyful. When the boat stops please be aware the bar is closed so you can't get a drink, so unlimited drinks i would say is misinterpreted. Overall the trip was very good but you can get cheaper trips in the resort with the locals who offer almost the same.Read more”

Great length of time overall, with 4 lovely stops with opportunities to swim (or snorkel with your own equipment). The crew were attentive without being overly pushy. Photographer was friendly and produced some great shots (so much so that we bought them, which we don't normally do). We didn't partake of the lunch but it looked good and the rest of our group enjoyed it. Transfer back to hotel was in a bigger coach which was quick, efficient and above all,…”
