“The Guide Denise was brilliant, as was the guy helping with the Kayaks (I can't remember his name) Anyway they were both very patient as I had 2 younger children with me and very informative too about all the coastal areas we visited. A really great morning out. Oh and the snorkeling was amazing too ... All round great value for money ... thank you so much”

“Alessandro war ein super Guide. Er hat im Vornherein alles super erklärt (engl., franz. & ital.) und gute Tipps gegeben. Nach einer kurze Probefahrt zum Kajak-Kennenlernen, ging es auch schon los. Auf dem "Hinweg", macht Alssandro ein paar Zwischenstops im Wasser mit kurzen, interessanten Erzählungen/Informationen. Die Tour dauert ca. 2h und ist einfach schön. Wir 2 Erw. waren mit unseren Kindern (14 & 11) unterwegs. Logischerweise, alles was nicht nass werden soll, sollte man besser nicht mitbringen, Alessandro bietet am Anfang aber an, Sachen bei ihm im Auto zu verstauen.
