    Great fun, the crew was super kind and helpful. Information and instructions in Italian and English. The boat was a large, performance RIB. All in all good family fun, including a very Italian break for Prosecco midway through our 3 hour trip.

    Thank you!!🤩

    Great to be out on the water

    Swimming off the boat. It was a bit crowded but everyone did have a place. Did not get water as advertised. Did get a snack and perseco almost at end

    Beautiful excursion

    Maja_W, Aug 2024
    Great guide! So much fun, 3 separate spots where we got to snorkel. Absolutely beautiful. The guide was great at pointing out all the spots and I took some great pics of dolphin rock

    Great morning out!

    Gina_G, Sep 2023
    I was made to feel welcome even though I was on my own. Very friendly & had a great time. Very informative

    Catch the wave in Tropea

    David_S, Jun 2023
    Great boat trip, small boat, friendly crew and good stops for swimming and snorkelling. Loads of fish and a glass of prosecco

    It was ok

    tim_l, Aug 2022
    Not what we expected small boat no place to change, not snorkelling equipment. Did not like the music

    If you want to sit on a cramped boat!

    Christopher_C, Jul 2022
    The boat was really cramped with far too many people on it. We were taken to snorkelling locations whereby there was hardly no fish to see, even though this was advertised in the booking that we would see a wide range of different fish.

    We spent about three...

    Karen_W, Jun 2022
    We spent about three hours with 2 friends and another 3 couples in a fast speed boat that took to various spots along the Calabrian Coast of the Gods and each stop we were allowed to jump in to the sea and swim which is wonderful given the cleanliness of the water. Pasquale and Antonio were both professional and friendly at the same. Nice way to spend a morning in this unique spectacularly beautiful part of Italy.

    Great tour

    Kathrin_B, May 2022
    It’s a very fun tour along the coast with some great snorkeling spots. Definitely worth it the money!

    Small group adventure

    Astrid_P, May 2022
    The boat ride being six people only on a small quite fast boat was great. Coast line is interesting.

    Wonderful day in Tropea

    Rosemary_M, May 2022
    Beautiful scenery & water is crystal clear! Antonio was a great captain and Paolo made the trip happen as we were only 2 people. It was a bit cold to snorkel but we jumped in anyway! A must do in Tropea!

    Great tour with excellent value for money

    Flyer39977992391, Jul 2019
    Great tour with excellent value for money. When we booked we were a little apprehensive for being 33 people but the boat is large and comfortable for everyone. Lots of long snorkeling stops and the equipment provided was in very good condition. Paolo is always available to help and in the end is available small drink to refresh. Totally recommend and would definitely repeat the tour again.

    Disaster

    Maren_F, Sep 2025
    ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) Absolute disaster! We could not even take the tour because the organization is completely unable to respond to booking errors. “Not my fault, nor my problem,” said the unsympathetic leader. Zero customer service, zero understanding – just unfriendly excuses instead. The “organization” itself was a rancid cabin, absolutely loveless and disappointing. You book here, you're just wasting time and money. Really not recommended, just trouble guaranteed!

    Sehr geehrter Gast, es tut uns sehr leid zu lesen, dass Sie eine so enttäuschende Erfahrung gemacht haben. Der von Ihnen geschilderte Eindruck entspricht keinesfalls dem Standard, den wir uns selbst setzen. Wir legen großen Wert auf eine klare Kommunikation, zuverlässige Organisation und freundlichen Kundenservice – umso bedauerlicher ist es, dass Sie dies anders erlebt haben.

    트로페아 및 카포 바티카노까지 바다에서 제대로 느낄 수 있었고 스노쿨링도 하면서 트로페아 바다를 온전히 만끽할 수 있었습니다. 그리고 트로페아 상징인 사랑의 동굴까지 수영해서 가보았던 것은 기억에 남을 경험이었습니다.

    Esperienza mediocre

    Maria_G, Aug 2024
    La partenza dal porto di Tropea alle ore 9.30, un po’ difficoltoso trovare il punto di ritrovo ma chiedendo aiuto telefonicamente ci hanno inviato la posizione. Ci aspettavamo una gita un po’ più esclusiva invece eravamo all incirca 30 persone, poco coinvolgimento da parte dello skipper, spiegazioni minime e ha messo qualche canzone ma niente di che. La zona più bella è quella di Capo Vaticano dove abbiamo fatto una sosta bagno, l’acqua limpidissima qui, le altre soste bagno una a Tropea e un’altra Baia di riaci. Durante le soste poche libertà di movimento, no tuffi dal gommone. Aperitivo servito taralli in busta e un bicchiere di prosecco. Rientro a Tropea ore 12.20. Nel complesso il costo ci è parso alto per la tipologia di escursione, non abbiamo visto chissà quali spiagge esclusive e non accessibili via terra.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Gentile cliente , Ci dispiace del suo disappunto , in giorni di alta stagione è difficile trovare un mezzo semivuoto , avreste potuto scegliere un’ escursione privata in modo da essere soli e meno vincolati ; le nostre ragazze propongono sempre le diverse soluzioni per far scegliere al cliente la soluzione più adatta alle proprie esigenze. Nelle nostre brochure può trovare tutte le info in merito Alla prossima

    Schnorcheln ist so schön

    Gisela_M, Oct 2023
    Das klare Wasser und die Fische zwischen denen man schnorcheln konnte. Die herrlichen Aussichten und die Erklärungen des Kapitäns.

    Pocas personas, tiempo suficiente, amabilidad, buena onda, excelente lugar.....Qué más se puede pedir????

    Miriam_F, Jun 2023
    Destaco la amabilidad de los tripulantes y el tiempo sin apuros para estar en el mar... Muy buena experiencia!!

    Escursione in barca

    andrea_s, Sep 2021
    Tour consigliato a ragazzi. Per il prezzo ne vale la pena. Aspetti da migliorare: Tempistica soste (troppo brevi e limitate) Maschere non professionali. Meglio portare le proprie.

    Consigliatissimo

    Lucia_C, Aug 2021
    Bellissima esperienza da fare assolutamente se si va in vacanza a Tropea. I nostri accompagnatori sono stati Paolo e Alfonso molto professionali e gentili.
