“Really enjoyed this tour. There were 12 ppl on the boat in the end. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the Blue Cave as the sea was too rough fairly common in September apparently but the rest of the trip made up for it. N.B. they delayed the trip by a day as the weather was really bad on teh booked day. Gorgeous weather and stop off locations with lots of swimming opportunities. Really great skipper. N.B. The food is AWFUL. Literally got a very small plate of dry fries with a slab of greasy meat and had to pay for drinks.”
