Hector was awesome. He took pics of my kids in the captains chair, was a wealth of knowledge about the local area and fishing. He made the day very enjoyable for my family. There were 12 of us on the boat but the other people didn't really swim or get into it,l or even really speak to Hector, we on the other hand had a blast! Would reccomend. Snorkel was fine, nothing crazy but saw fish, swam and enjoyed the day.
Everything was very well organized. Hector was a very nice captain. He gave us a lot of information. We enjoyed every second and didn't understand how time passed. It's really a must-do-activity. Thanks a lot.
Despite a rough sea that did not allow us to reach the end of our trip to Capo Gallo, we had a pleasant time, thanks to the friendly and very prepared skipper. Thanks Ettore!!
Great tour guide and beautiful scenery, couldn’t do for better!
Skipper was awesome. Took us to some great snorkeling locations. Provides great knowledge of the area. Highly recommend viewing Palermo from the sea. It was beautiful
Cool, relaxed guide and a recommendable tour for those who simply want to relax a bit on the boat and swim
We had a fantastic fun filled trip. Felt safe and looked after. Would definitely recommend taking the trip.
It was a wonderful boat tour to Mondello and to another more secluded bay. Seeing the coast from the water was great, and especially the city of Palermo looks beautiful in front of you when you return. We enjoyed the boat trip.
