Traveller reviews
The sea was exactly the color you hope for when you book a trip like this. The only downside was the drive to Adrasan, which felt longer on the way back because everyone was tired and salty from swimming. The crew handled the swim stops well and helped older guests get on and off the boat. I would still reccomend it, especially if clear water matters more to you than luxury.
We found a shaded spot near the side of the boat and barely moved except to swim. Perfect lazy holiday day.
We saw people snorkeling near the rocks and wished we had brought our own mask.
We went with two children and they spent almost the whole day jumping in and out of the water. I liked that the music wasnt too loud, so families and couples could both enjoy the boat. The captain changed one stop because of wind, and the replacement bay was calm and beautiful. Bring your own snorkel if you have one.
The captain changed one stop becuase of wind, and the replacement bay was actually our favorite.
The crew helped older guests get on and off the boat carefully. Small thing, but it made a difference.
