Amazing Experience!

Boat, captain and chef were amazing. The operators assisted from pick up to drop-off. We had an amazing day, followed by even better food homemade on board by the chef. We loved it so much that we booked another day during our stay. We would highly recommend. The boat was also beautiful and well equipped.

Il n'y a pas de plage à sable sur l'île de Dia. La plage est rocheuse et l'excursion se limite à être sur le bateau ou à nager une centaine de mètres de l'île. Aucune autre activité. Repas de basse qualité. Ça ne vaut pas le coup.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for your review. It is sad that you didn’t enjoy fully the cruise. In the description of the tour we do not promote sandy beach as Dia Island is uninhabited place and everything we do, is indeed from the catamaran (and we do not say otherwise in our product details). Could you please specify what didn’t you like about the food, so we could improve our services. Thank you. Kate on behalf of the team.
