Wonderful boat trip with a great captain, who took great care of his passengers. Unforgettable moment, we recommend this provider, Calypso... Thanks to the captain and his son.
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un moment inoubliable avec nous. Ce fut un plaisir de vous avoir à bord. Un grand merci pour votre confiance et votre recommandation ! Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour une nouvelle aventure avec Calypso.
A pleasant ride on a speedboat with a nice pilot. Now you do not stop in absolutely exceptional places. You wait in line because many boats are there. And during the long break, you are not guaranteed to have a lounge chair if it is too late or if it is crowded. But we gave it 4* anyway because you don't go for a ride on a speedboat every day and that is great.
Thank you very much for your honest feedback! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the speed boat experience and the time spent at sea. During the high season, some locations can become busier, but we always do our best to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for our guests.
I was looking for a boat tour with a small group of people that would be relaxing. The driver was great, we made a few stops to swim off the boat (definitely come already wearing your swimsuit), and then spent 2.5 hours at a beach (which has bars, restaurants, and toilets). It's a good idea to bring lots of drinking water, as well as wetshoes. Great price, great experience, definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the relaxing experience, swimming stops, and time at the beach. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again for another beautiful day on the sea!
Great tour with lots of different stops where we could swim and snorkle
