“The Activity itself was great. We booked a jetski Safari. When we arrived we were told that a jetski Safari is not possible because they didn‘t have a guide. So we just got 60 minutes on the jetski driving around in circles. A refund wasn’t possible so we paid 150€ for 1 jetski per hour. If we just booked that at the beach it would cost 140€. We also had to wait for about 1 hour untill we got our jetskis. Drivin the jetskis of course was fun. The transfer back to the hotel was very bad. The Driver didn‘t show up and our messages to our contact got ignored,…”

Die drei Stunden lohnen sich auf jeden Fall, ich würde es immer wieder tun. Der Strand an dem man lernt ist ebenfalls flach, sodass man jederzeit stehen kann, die Wellen aber dennoch groß genug sind.”

“We did the 4 hour bike coast tour with Lorenzo yesterday. It was amazing!! We were taken to so many secluded beaches we would never have found on our own. Stopped for the best cappuccino we’ve ever tasted on the way there and a fab smoothie on the way back. We were lucky to get into the banana plantation and the guy took time to explain to us how it all worked. Definitely the best way to get around the island and see all the sites. The bikes are easy to use. Lorenzo is so nice and knowledgeable. We now have lots of places we want to visit. 5 star…”
